RedPhone and TextSecure was migrated to Signal, but I'm a little bit worried about all the permissions Signal app requires. Why does signal require ex. location and calendar? I have tried to search for it, but cannot find any information about it.
Signal Private Messager required permissions:
Device & app history // Identity // Calendar // Contacts // Location // SMS // Phone // Photos/Media/Files // Storage // Camera // Microphone // Wi-Fi connection information // Device ID & call information // In addition to «Other» permissions.
Can anyone explain to me why this app needs so much permission?
