I think the problem is that they request the permissions for specific features, but once you've given access they can use it for whatever they want. e.g. you provide GPS for the running feature and now they can also track you when you aren't running.
- bennyg 11y agoSo every single app that uses location services, ever?
- vilmosi 11y agoYes. Except I want Google Maps to know where I am, but why on Earth does Spotify care?!
- wvenable 11y agoThis is pretty circular as the comment 2 levels up is "you provide GPS for the running feature" If you don't want to give them permission to something, don't give it. Of course, that will also mean you can't use features that depend on it.
- vilmosi 11y agoI use Android, I can't just deny permission and not use a feature. I would have to stop using Spotify alltogether. It's not the same as giving permission to Google Maps to use my location because I know exactly why it wants that. With Spotify, "improving our services" is just not a good enough reason.
