Yeah, it always made me frown when at the time people were using the hidden API to remove permissions manually after install .. (and complain when Google removed that testing tool before shipping proper incremental permissions in the next release). That's just not how it works.
Thankfully now that permissions are incremental, this issue is solved.
Except some apps still target an old API in order to keep install time permissions .. like SnapChat.
This will soon no longer be possible since Google will force apps to target the last API level.
Still, people don't seem to realize what giving an app access to 'contacts' or 'SMS' means.
I am not sure how to solve that tbh :/
