I was looking into the new version of SwiftKey for $1.99 and was perplexed by the permissions! I'm new to Smartphones, so I don't understand this :
"Read your text messages - ... regardless of content or confidentiality."
"Read phone status and identity - ... allows the app to determine the phone number and device IDs, ..., and the remote number connected..."
I was looking at the new Samsung All Share Play conversion to Samsung Link app and they wanted the same permissions. I just went through 10 apps on my phone and noticed that most of them required these same permissions, but their function usually had nothing to do with these features.
Can someone edumacate me?
