I'm not surprised users installed this. Too many people ignore the permissions of Android apps. I have trained my parents about the permissions and to always ask me if they think a permission is too risky. I have refused updates due to desired permissions (Home Depot wanted calendar access, but later removed it) and in one case since they refused to eliminate the permission from the update and my infrequent use of the app I uninstalled it (Dominoes wanted to record audio).
Problem is it seems most apps want permission for basically everything.
Yeah, exactly. I just blindly say yes to everything and hope for the best.Well observed,simple answer is do not use any apps or just put up with it like the billions do.
Why don't the carriers provide a flashlight app with the phone? It's a very simple app that doesn't take a large team of programmers to write and debug.
Why should they?
It would be a selling point.
I think they are more interested in making sure the phone has Facebook and You Tube and that silly Twitter thing.
