alt Hacker NewsI 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.
So they aren't even pretending to not say "screw you and your privacy". Glad I don't have need, increasing or otherwise, to use Whatsapp.
