When all an app needs to do is connect to a website and cache a few images why does it need microphone access? Also if it has 100s of dialogs popping up users

Also if it has 100s of dialogs popping up users get a fatigue. They tend to say yes to everything and that's how default Android permissions are
- inerg 7y agoI don't have the app installed but I'm assuming you can record video in it to post on Reddit? If that's the case I can see why it requires access to the microphone. That's the only way I could look at justifying it.
- thewhitetulip 7y agoTrue. But why need all permissions upfront? Security model should be automated. Request only when needed Can't see why it needs all permissions upfront. Apps keep nagging u until we provide all permissions. 90% of my reddit usage is posting amd reading text. 10% is photo related. So browser is better for me. I don't need an app to have all access when I upload photos once a month
