How is it a basic requirement? No apps should be able to make and manage phone calls apart from your caller app. Even WhatsApp does not need this, and apps that use cellular calling can just open the phone number in the caller app, as they do when e.g. you click on a number in chrome.
If people are going to waste my time with that “never complain about anything unless you can offer a solution” crap I’ll waste their time with a similarly stupid answer.
Uhmmmm no thanks??? WTF
pretty sure thats so you can answer phone calls while the app is open
I don’t love being spied on and shit but that’s a pretty basic requirement. You can probs just call people on the app.

Whatsapp does in fact need this to make calls
Literally just let’s calls interrupt our manage focus state.
Never had a problem receiving a call while in sync
Sync doesnt take full screen control with audio and video so it’s quite a bit different
Android’s fucked up permissions scheme makes even a flashlight app look like horrible spyware.
But in this case it doesn’t apply, and you don’t actually need the camera permissions to enable the flashlight and haven’t for a very long time.
I have never once seen a robust permission model be easy to use or explain to folks who don’t care.
Do you have a suggested alternative that’s going to keep privacy and security advocates happy, while being easier to use?
remove permissions entirely and give every program root access. if it worked for dos it’ll work for everyone.
Lol that’s insane.
