(SECUSO) Try to reach 2048 in this puzzle game
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.

Installation Guide
Open Settings on your Android device
Go to Security → Unknown sources (or Install unknown apps)

Open the downloaded APK file from your Downloads folder
Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be org.secuso.privacyfriendly2048 is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 1.4.0 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall 2048 (Privacy Friendly) first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of 2048 (Privacy Friendly), and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
