  There's been a campaign aimed at the new permissions they ask for, especially recording audio without asking. People protest by installing the app, leaving a 1-star review, then uninstalling it.

    How do they ask for that permission? With a popup like the one asking for sending you notices? I thought apps are allowed to do anything on ios. Can't remember skype asking me for recording permissions.

      That might be more of an Android thing, but it does get permission to access the microphone on iOS. Maybe a bigger reason for iOS users is the recent change that removes messaging from the main app. That means you have to have two separate apps if you want to browse and do messaging. http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/08/08/facebook-messenger-switch-controversy-is-part-misunderstanding-part-mistrust/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0 http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/08/08/facebook-messenger-...
