I have an Android, and I give my apps permissions myself, lots of apps wants permission to stuff they don't need

Not gonna lie I miss read flashlight and I was thinking, "My god, what a time to be alive"
AlHarrington
WTF = When the flashlight

I wonder how he feels about the AI in his own cars?
RobotMassacre538
For some reason the Panera app wanted access to my ENTIRE phone, and it literally used non of the permission, I uninstalled immediately
hqwebsite
It has to be Fleshlight. There are the AI next frontier.
CheeseLegs
I work with phones. NEVER download apps your phone can already do and NEVER give suspicious permissions... Viruses out the ass.

iphone has built in flashlight
realkerbal101
Ah, I am glad I am not the only one noticing that.Ridiculous access rights on Samsung Galaxy. Just disable it and get non-stock one.
TheBalto
Official apps are a different story. The vendor controls your ROM anyway. ("Well, we have root.")

Then again, some flashlight apps would flash the light when you get or have gotten a call. Perhaps the permission is for that. Still no!
IntelliSlap
You only need the "Phone" permission for viewing phone status, no need for contacts. At least for Android, got no experience with iPhone.

I know. I was drunk last night and it cracked me up again...can't believe it made FP...

i laughed out loud because i'm that paranoid and i'd make this face every time i install a new app. every time.

His face is what does it for me. That and also knowing he's paranoid about AI. Lmao!

clooney900
well if you want to actually get your phone calls to come through when you are using your flashlight, yes it needs access to your call logs.
DoctorBaboon42
Unless you're making some joke I don't understand, that's not how any modern phone OS works.

That article is just wrong (or severely outdated), as anyone who actually uses Android can surely attest.

I once had a music player app that wanted access to wifi and GPS. Had.
matteyothecrazy
I just use LuckyPatcher to forcibly remove the authorizations off of the app, and usually the apps keep going fine.
GentlemanScientist
Gonna have to look into that. Thanks!
TheBalto
Location based Music selection?
GentlemanScientist
Location based ad placement more like.
TheBalto
Still doesn't justify precise location though.
Siptro
flashlight app? don't all phones have a built in flashlight button, usually just swipe down from the top and it's there
iamthisguy247
I think he's calling the button an app.
mallarke
if you're a hp fan and you're on an android you can also use "lumos" or "nox" with ok google to turn the light on/off too.
chrishallett83
Hello fellow Android user.
Noobalott
mine has its flashlight button but turns led only to 50% brightness while downloaded app turns it to 100
MashedPotatozs
You know how some of the flashlight apps let you flash your light?
TheWhiffKing
Nope. Mine doesn't.
ImCommanderShepardandthisismyfavoritepostonthefrontpage
I think apps give you more control of intensity than the default widgets.
IVerifyPeoplesUsernames
My dad's smartphone had a flashlight but no means of turning it on. He had to download an app for that.
thomerow
You mean up from the bottom. ;)
TheBalto
From the top in Android, from the bottom in iOS.
supersomatic
im an android developer and I didn't know this shit +1

That's what everyone asked last time this was on FP.
LosPer
I had no idea this dank thing was going to make fp again. I was drunk last night and it made me laugh, so I posted...
Srcsqwrn
Mine does not.
periwinklepanda
Mine does not either
BombBloke
Most phones that lack it as a regular toggle have it as a widget instead.
Andalite
I just shake mine
DontAskMeAboutMyUsernameOkay
My phone comes with a flashlight "Widget". I had to place it on the homescreen or no flashlight.
cousteau
Can relate. Modern Android allows to do that from the swipe-from-top menu. (No need to unlock)
crh19425
I just shake my Moto G and it turns on. very handy
WhatAboutReefer
I just got one today. Awesome shit.
Kiore
Less handy when you're constantly turning it on by mistake and only notice when it burns your thigh D:
jcw99
you basically would have to kick someone, twice, for there to be enough motion to trigger, its less of a "shake" and more of a "chop"
Kiore
I didn't make a habit of kicking people but I am pretty active so IDK. Happened all the time with my Moto G.
stuiiful
I imagine ambient sensors would play a roll in stopping that from happening
Kiore
Happened constantly to me with a Moto G, maybe I'm just spaz.
Kiore
Despite all ya'll feedback this happened to me constantly with the Moto G in my pocket! Guess I'm spaz.
Bananabeanie
I have Moto too, never had that problem.
Kiore
I may just be extra spaz, haha.
k44ster
The proximity sensors take care of that :l
Kiore
Never did for me, happened all the time with my Moto G.
Tassyr
It didn't used to be that way, man. You used to basically have to override the camera's flash into it.

So, while it can be used, it's retarded according to Cambridge Dictionary.

It's a joke. Musky is concerned about AI taking over...and this is a joke playing off his fears. Didn't happen to me.
cousteau
Compass apps though. I had one asking for access to my camera or files or something like that.
JHawke
This is no joke, my phone didn't have a flashlight button by default. It's been common only for the last 8 years or so. ("only")

Imgur does.

Dude how old are you? Phones without default flashlight are as new as 2 years ago.
MoooCow
Not everyone changes phones that often
DrSparken
And they're saying that it was still common to lack that feature so recently, so someone who thinks it's common has changed since about then
