About this APK

HTC Sense Input is an app by HTC Corporation in the Tools category. It includes native code only for ARM 32-bit, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.

Since version 7.0.594887, the APK shrank from 16.1 MB to 14.4 MB and the minimum Android version rose from 5.0 to 6.0. It asks for 15 permissions, 2 of them sensitive: record audio and read contacts. Compared with version 7.0.594887, it adds 2 new permissions (“Interact across users” and “Run at startup”) and drops 3 (“Read shared storage”, “Modify shared storage” and “Write settings”).
