All these aren't requirements for app functionality AFAIK. If any app needs a certain permission you should get a prompt to accept or deny any of them individually. If denying permissions isn't possible on nougat (don't know if this is a relevant problem, I think old android had something of the sort) maybe you should look into upgrading your device.

- freebuju 6y agoThere's no such thing as internet permission. The only way to turn off this "juicy permission" is to not use any internet connection. Though you can get away with firewall-ing any app you don't want connecting to the internet using apps such as netguard or afwall+. Open source keyboards you've mentioned are probably your best bet if privacy is your main concern.
- jacob019 6y agoActually there is an internet permission. To perform network operations in your application, your manifest must include the following permissions: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /> source: https://developer.android.com/training/basics/network-ops/connecting https://developer.android.com/training/basics/network-ops/co...
