Don't forget to report it inside Play Store. All of these permissions are not required, thus the app is breaking store rules.
Instagram has all the same stuff and it’s been there for years. Bet it’s also the case with Facebook
It’s meta. Unfortunately I’m sure their lawyers can come up with dumb bullshit excuses for every one of these.
They're not permissions, they're the types of data that may be collected. Every popular closed source app has a similar obscene list of private data they may collect, but in most cases it's the user that chooses to provide that kind of information voluntarily anyways.
What do you mean its not requierd, but then how will meta sell your data and make billions?/s
