I can’t think of a single iOS app I’ve installed in over 15 years that forced me to give it unnecessary permissions for it to work
- rolandog 1y agoWell, consider me impressed; perhaps I should consider switching away from Android... the only thing keeping me from doing so is Apple's walled garden... the hefty price tags don't help, too. For my part, I can tell you that Samsung's "Galaxy Buds Pro" app (IIRC) for a while there didn't allow me to customize some settings if I didn't grant calendar or contact permissions... I tested today and that didn't happen (it was probably a bug... though I remember it being present for a LOT of time; enough that I stopped trying to open the app). My workaround consisted in using the widget to toggle noise-cancellation modes.
- rolandog 1y agoI should note that, instead of "customize settings" should read as "interact with the app" (as in permission prompt pop-up preventing interaction with main app).
