“If an app asks for Android permissions that it doesn’t rightfully need (like screen recording permissions for a BMI app), deny it; who knows what kind of things the app can harvest if you allow it?”
Huh? Don’t install it in the first place! Because, “who knows what kind of things the app can…” 🤦♂️
Of course, if unsure, reaching out to the devs for clarification is fair. But make sure the answer is reasonable.
