What is MMI Group App on Samsung Devices?

In Samsung devices, there is an app that is known as the MMI Group app. This app claims to be preinstalled but users are reporting that this app is not preinstalled and comes as a system application after installing the Google Play Store for the first time.

If you install this MMI Group app on Samsung devices then it will give access to all your personal data like:-

  • Photos
  • Videos
  • Messages
  • Contacts
  • Call Logs

And this access can be very dangerous because hackers can hack into any of those devices through this app.

However, the app has pre-granted permissions to myriad components which are apparently required for the proper functioning of both the app and the system. In some cases, it has been reported that this app is also known as:-

  • Samsung device manager
  • Samsung service center
  • Samsung settings

MMI group app contains all the necessary permissions to be able to show ads, perform various tasks and fetch data from the internet without having user permission.

MMI group app uses location-based services for the task of tracking users’ location briefly by using GPS etc., in short, if Samsung wants then through this app it can also share this information with third party companies which are used for details like email, promotional offers, and more.

The app is used to control almost everything that is synced with your device on the Samsung devices. When you take the app out of “system apps” there will not be any problems whether it’s a preinstalled app or an app that was downloaded from the internet.

But, the sources claim that the MMI Group app is not harmful, since it’s a system app of Samsung that was offered by Samsung itself for the proper functioning of their devices.

The MMI group app can only control the Samsung smartphones remotely in their user interface which has been created especially for this purpose.
