pm: List all installed 3rd-Party apps.
$ pm list packages -3
try on your machine

The command pm list packages -3 is used to list the third-party packages installed on an Android device. Let's break down the command:

  • pm: pm stands for "package manager," which is a command-line tool used to manage packages on Android devices.
  • list packages: This part of the command instructs the package manager to list packages.
  • -3: This is an option used to filter the packages. In this case, -3 filters the packages to list only third-party packages. It excludes system packages or packages that are installed as part of the Android operating system.

So when you run the pm list packages -3 command, it will display a list of only the third-party packages installed on your Android device.
