Google could put your IMEI number on the lock screen, but there’s no need to worry

Credit: Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR We conducted a teardown of the Google Play Services app and found a toggle to display a device’s IMEI number on the lock screen. This confirms that you can choose whether or not to display the IMEI number on your locked device. We first discovered this functionality in January, but it wasn’t clear at the time whether it would be optional.
