Editor's Overview

2048 (Privacy Friendly) is a puzzle game application developed by SECUSO - Security Usability Society, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.4 weighing in at 7.11 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 7.11 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "SECUSO - Security Usability Society" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

The Android application Privacy Friendly 2048 is an exciting puzzle game. The game is considered to be won if you reach the number 2048 by sliding the same numbers together.

The statistic function is also part of the app. This makes it possible to get information about for example the required number of swipes and the highest achieved number of points.

The Privacy Friendly 2048 has four different game modes:

classic: 4x4
large: 5x5
bigger: 6x6
huge: 7x7

A generator in the background randomly displays one number per round (2 or 4). With the help of these numbers, the number 2048 and even higher powers of two can be gradually reached. For help and tips, please take a look at this website.

This app also offers the possibility to save a game in the respective mode, which allows a total of up to four saved games. Undoing a move has also been implemented in this app. Additionally, a summary of their performance in the different modes can be found in the statistic function.

Our Privacy Friendly App differs from other, similar applications with respect to two aspects:

1. No permissions:
The Privacy Friendly 2048 does not use any permissions
2. No adertisement:
Many other free apps in the Google Play Store dazzle annoying advertising which also shortens battery life.
