So about that Wifi app in the third screenshot...
Forgot to put that on my list earlier, it scans for nearby WiFi access points and returns the signal strength, band frequency, and various details about each.
Does it grant "backdoor" access?
Not that I'm aware of. I only used it to diagnose weak signals and frequency band conflicts in the house.
Blessed by thy innocent soul.
edit: got the reference. lol
