Explanation of QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES Permission Usage in Our App
Our app is a phone memory cleanup and storage management application designed to help users optimize storage space, remove unnecessary files, and improve overall device organization and performance.
How QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES Permission Is Used
The QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission is used only to analyze installed applications on the device in order to support the app’s core features related to storage cleanup, app analysis, and basic security scanning.
This permission is used strictly for the following core functions:
- Junk File Cleaner: Detects unnecessary residual files, leftover app data, and app-related cache/storage usage.
- Duplicate Photo & Video Cleaner: Scans device media storage to help identify duplicate photos and videos.
- Duplicate File Remover: Helps users locate and remove duplicate files stored on the device.

- AI Smart Personal Assistant: Provides smart recommendations for storage cleanup and device optimization.
- AI Pattern Recognition / Virus Detector / Virus Scanner: Performs a basic security scan to identify suspicious or potentially harmful applications. To do this, the app needs visibility of installed packages so it can detect unknown or suspicious apps during anti-malware scanning.
