About this APK

File Manager is an app by Xiaomi Inc. in the Tools category, listed since September 2017. It includes native code only for ARM 64-bit, so it won't install on phones that can only run 32-bit apps.

Since version V1-210733, the APK grew from 26.9 MB to 29.6 MB. Since version V1-170919, the minimum Android version rose from 6.0 to 8.0. It asks for 65 permissions, 10 of them sensitive, including access all files, read media images and read media video. Compared with version V1-230637, it adds 1 new permission (“Foreground service data sync”) and drops 3 (“Foreground service system exempted”, “Schedule exaact alarm” and “Use exact alarm”). The app can read the advertising ID that ad and analytics services use.
