About this app

Privacy Cell is a small app that displays the cell phone protocol information.

At the time of this writing, many cell phone networks are switching from 4G (4th Generation) to 5G networks. The 5G network protocols were specifically designed to protect against some of the known insecurities of the older protocols, including those that allowed stingrays (IMSI catchers) to perform man-in-the-middle attacks on cell phone networks. To ease deployment and backwards compatibility, 4G and 5G networks can run together in what is known as 5G NR (New Radio) NSA (Non-Standalone) mode. This uses the 4G network for the control channel and the 5G network for the data communication. However, 5G NSA does not provide protection against stingrays. Android has access to all the information it needs to know if it is connected to a 5G NSA or a 5G SA (Standalone) network, but it doesn’t display that information to the user. The purpose of Privacy Cell is to make that information easy to access.

Privacy Cell can also warn you when you are connected to antiquated 2G and 3G networks.

Ratings and reviews

2nd review-the app was working great. very informative. I'm not sure what other apps or why my phone made it crash though. I've been using for months and all of a sudden my phone put it to sleep. 1st review-My phone says this app must investigate why it can't open libpenguin.so, missing split APKs for specific locales and screen densities,

Should say 4 because man in the middle attacks awareness of a Verizon Total Wireless situation but would suggest with that knowledge security administration would be aware of it and wait like a bear trap.All networks could use it themselves in Smart App Development opinion.I must delve deeper into it and seems to make a meow in logcat.

My connection isn't secure 4G LTE... Another app confirmed this with more information. My cell phone provider says this app is a scam. I think it's not.

What’s new

• Indicate which SIM card is used for each connection.
• Add support for searching the logcat.
• Bump the target API to 35 (Android 15).
