It doesn't demand it, and in fact those are just basic defaults when using the new permission model/build APIs, though they default to off. In my 7.1.1 permissions Netflix lists those three, and none of them are granted nor have they ever been requested by the app.
- ams6110 10y agoThey were presented when I tried to install the lastest update, and there was no option other than "Accept". They don't need that stuff so I deleted the app.
- cryptoz 10y agoThat's fair, but it sounds like you're running an older Android version? In this case, your blame should lie with Google's old permissions model being not-fined-grained enough rather than at anger with Netflix over the permissions. Given the constraints on making the app, in order to satisfy you (no new permissions) they would have to halt feature development for things that customers demand, like offline play. You can upgrade your Android version possibly, to find that the Netflix app will not require those permissions if you install it.
- camiller 10y agoYou are not on Android 7 yet. Prior to "Nougat" the fine grain permissions control was not available so permissions were an all or nothing thing at install time. Starting with version 7 you only enable a specific permission the first time the application needs it. And you can change them later if you wish on the permissions section of the application in app manager. https://goo.gl/photos/2rvYmX6WNgGVfEsJ7 https://goo.gl/photos/2rvYmX6WNgGVfEsJ7
- Stratoscope 10y agoYou're off by one version: it was Android 6 (Marshmallow) that introduced the fine grained permissions.
- camiller 10y agoI stand corrected.
