About this APK

Google Find My Device is an app by Google Inc. in the Tools category, listed since at least December 2013. It has no native code, so it runs on any Android processor. It needs Google Play services, so it may not work on phones without them.

Since version 2.3.008, the APK grew from 3.5 MB to 9.4 MB and the minimum Android version rose from 4.0 to 4.4. It asks for 30 permissions, none of them sensitive. Compared with version 2.4.043, it adds 8 new permissions (“Access adservices attribution”, “Access adservices topics”, “Advertising ID” and 5 more) and drops 10 (“Approximate location”, “Precise location”, “Bluetooth” and 7 more). The app can read the advertising ID that ad and analytics services use.

  • Signed differently from the Google Play version v2.3.008, which matches Google Play, uses another certificate. Android normally won't update an installed Play Store copy with this file. v2.3.008
