My files App

[2tryagain]

What is the latest version of My files app do Samsung users have running on there cell phone?

I have version 12.2.03.361 as of Oct-2021 which strangely has telephone permissions.

The latest version of 'My files' app is 12.2.03.361 (2021.09.23).
You can check it on the Galaxy Store. https://apps.galaxyappstore.com/prepost/000005829454?appId=com.sec.android.app.myfiles

But you can disable that unreasonable permission in your 'Settings - Apps'.

My Files is pretty crappy.
Especially since it is asking for such permissions.

There are so many better file manager apps.

You cannot disable the My files app it is preinstalled and the camera app also has the telephone permissions. Samsung forum did not respond.

You don't need to disable it in order to use something else.

Pretty much anything else is better.

I use Simple File Manager Pro.
I also use Simple Camera from the same developer.
Neither one has any permissions that they do not need in order to work.
