From email dated 4 February 2015
Michael LeBeau – ‘He guys, as you know all the growth team is planning on shipping a
permissions update on Android at the end of this month. They are going to include the ‘read
call log’ permission, which will trigger the Android permissions dialog on update, requiring
users to accept the update. They will then provide an in-app opt in NUX for a feature that
lets you continuously upload your SMS and call log history to Facebook to be used for
improving things like PYMK, coefficient calculation, feed ranking etc. This is a pretty highrisk
thing to do from a PR perspective but it appears that the growth team will charge ahead
and do it.’
Yul Kwon – ‘Based on their initial testing, it seems this would allow us to upgrade users without subjecting them to an Android permissions dialog at all.'
