My APK FAQs

1. What do the system and non-system app mean?

System app means the app that is pre-installed on the firmware.

Non-system app means the app that user installs it. It could be from Play store, Amazon store or any third party stores or from Unknown source (directly install *.apk file)

2. Some app does not have installed date or updated date. Is this a bug?

No, it is not a bug. Actually, some system apps have an invalid installed date or updated date.
