[android] Google play app permissions

[X-13]

Can anyone clarify what "This permission allows the app to use the camera at any time without your confirmation" actually means?

It's so you can use the camera straight from the posting section, without a popup saying "edugeek is requesting permission to access your devices camera" every single time.

 

it's google's slightly ambiguous wording at play...

That's what I thought. It sounds like it will randomly take photos though...

 

Oh well, back to hatin' on the app based on reviews. [i was talking about 2Simple's EYFS app, not EduGeek. I love Edugeek.]

It isn't 'random'... it knows when you will be in the most compromising positions and only takes photos then.

Well, that's OK then.

A device policy will override and turn that off if you're worried.
