        Congratulations? If you use anything beyond stock apps it means you downloaded it, and accepted the privacy policy for it. Even with automatic updates, you logged in and accepted the policy as well. You don’t want it? Erase the app. Freeze it, don’t use it, whatever.

        What’s worse is that you don’t even show the permission menu, you just show a notification.

        Do what you want, but take at least responsibility for what you accept

          That the stock app from my phone. Since a year the manufacturer started to update stock apps and they started to ask more and more permissions. It reached levels so bad that I am looking at the fairphones but I don’t have the money yet. Maybe in a few months or a year. You are very agressive, I hope you fine and if you go thru hard time, keep the head up it will be better later.

      In normal Android, I don’t think internet access counts as a permission, nor does basic data collection.

        Indeed

        Mine just shows this on the store

        Still

        The network access I guess it’s for the currency conversion, but the rest is pretty standard stuff for haptic feedback and memory management.

        Nothing strange there at least for me
