Device Pulse is an instant messaging app that comes pre-installed on TracFone smartphones. It provides users with instant brand recognition and the ability to troubleshoot their device. However, there are concerns that Device Pulse may be spyware and harvest data from users. It is also a command line tool that can be used to debug Android devices from a computer, but USB debug needs to be enabled to use it. Some users have reported wanting to uninstall the app from their TracFone device after it has been unlocked.
