What FlyTrap detected inside Wikipedia.
The Wikipedia mobile app provides multilingual access to the free encyclopedia, enabling users to search, read, save, and discover articles while tracking private on-device reading activity and personalizing content recommendations. This comes from a FlyTrap agent exploring the app on a real device, so it covers only the screens that run reached.
Wikipedia by Wikimedia Foundation is built with Native Android. FlyTrap determined this by analyzing the app's compiled binary, not from anything the developer published.
FlyTrap detected 5 third-party SDKs inside Wikipedia, including Firebase Cloud Messaging, Google Wallet and Coil. They span areas such as Push Notifications, Payments, Imaging and Analytics. The full list, grouped by category, is on this page.
Wikipedia requests 19 permissions. 7 of these are sensitive, such as Write storage, Find accounts on device and Post notifications. Each is listed above with its platform sensitivity tier.
FlyTrap reports what an app contains, it does not issue a safety verdict. Wikipedia requests 19 permissions (7 sensitive) and bundles 5 third-party SDKs. Reviewing those alongside the developer helps you decide what you are comfortable granting.
The version FlyTrap analyzed targets Android.
