Ask HN: Why does Google Pay insist on getting so many Permissions on Android?

1 pointsby jbmsabout 7 years ago
I&#x27;ve disabled all permissions for all apps that I think don&#x27;t need them, and now I get dozens of notifications a day from Google Pay that it can&#x27;t work properly without access to: Calendar, Camera, Contacts, Microphone, Telephone, Body Sensors, and SMS.<p>I understand security might be enhanced by having more access to these items, but it&#x27;s a default app and they&#x27;re default permissions and they just seem a bit much.
