Wondering what people are thinking about this and why the internet is so quiet about it. I am not happy. Today it decided I couldn’t use the camera without giving it extensive permissions and agreeing to it. Not cool. Update: Open Camera worked and I hope Google doesn’t block this and other apps in September as they are threatening. Almost slipped into agenda posting. You all have the internet too.

    WDYM?

    My camera app (Fairphone) asked me for:

    • Location. Makes sense, I set it to record where each picture was taken, can hardly do that if it doesn’t know the location.
    • Microphone. Yeah, I wanna record sound in my videos.
    • Camera. Duh.
    • Files permission. I like my pictures and videos to be actually saved, so this makes sense.

    What permissions in addition to these pretty obvious ones does yours want?
