Android groups applications on UID #229

System applications have the same UID, even they have a different package and application name. Changing a setting in an app effects also other apps in same UID. For example disabling internet access of an app also disables the others. It would be nice to list/see/filter apps with UID option.

Yeah, that's right. The Android VPN doesn't differentiate between apps with the same UID. What exactly do you want to do differently? Can you explain some more?

Halilb1978 commented 3 years ago

Just a listing option to see which apps are in the same UID.

NetGuard can do this. And it is really useful. Perhaps it can be done as a search filter like "uid:12345? This wouldn´t clutter the UI too much and of course the UID has to be shown in the app details screen.

I appreciate the simplicity of TC. Don´t add to much... ;)
