This article provides information about pre-installed and default applications on Elo's Android devices.
Elo Android devices managed with EloView include several pre-installed applications. These applications fall into two categories:
- Elo Stock Apps – applications installed by Elo for system operation, testing, and peripheral integration.
- Google Mobile Services (GMS) Apps – applications provided by Google that may be available depending on device configuration.
Most applications are hidden by default on the device. Administrators can control visibility within the EloView portal.
