G+_Dallam Oliver-Lee Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Ya. I can understand camera access. The access to phone contacts seems more invasive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Nick Gailfus Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Could be to send money to a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Blake DeVoss Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Read/write to SD could be to cache data on something other than internal memory. Don't forget, some people are running around with freebee android devices that have only a few hundred MB of free space. Don't freak out just because an app is asking for permission to do something that it has a use case for. I would prefer that they explicitly state the use case for each permission and be held accountable to that, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
