Apparently the one app requires permissions for "an overview of your exact location, the ability to make direct calls via your phone and the ability to disable your screen lock."
I've never heard of any app being able to make calls or disable the lock screen. Is that even possible? I suspect maybe on Android?
- dundarious 4y agoI believe the "disable lock screen" permission is to prevent auto-lock, for example while displaying a video or QR code, and does not mean anything like that the app can remotely unlock the phone. The other permissions are certainly concerning.
- UncleMeat 4y agoDisable Lock Screen means disabling the auto shutoff of the screen. This is important for any app that needs to remain constantly visible.
