alt Hacker NewsYou already have bigger problems then. Most people have given any number of plugins, etc., access to peek at browser history, clipboards, etc and didn't realize it. Run an ad blocker? VPN? Check out the permissions those sorts of things have on your device.
I want to get rid of whatsapp. Well, since years, but now the need increased.
On android it is possible to give permissions "once" "while using the app" "always".
But whatsapp now only accepts the full camera access. If you set "ask every time" to indeed only make a picture once and then no camera access anymore, it refuses and sends you to the permission dialoge.
