It's not an app. It's service:


Do you know how to tell, definitively, if any given phone is running this
compromised service?

I don't see it running when I look using these instructions:

https://www.howtogeek.com/258300/how-to-access-androids-list-of-running-apps-in-6.0-marshmallow-and-above/

However, it could be running *inside* an app that linked to the API


And at what point are you to assume that additional hidden in-house billing or update-service programming (that can't be turned-off) automatically reveals a phone's location at an un-announced time?
