I can't believe the wearable app (for galaxy buds) is actual allowed on the playstore. The permissions the app asks for are nothing I've ever seen before.
It asks for **EVERYTHING** , literally. And if you remove a single permission, the app won't work. Samsungs privacy policy is not making it any better.
Since there's no alternative app, how would one go about isolating an app in a way, that it won't be able to access, or, for example, receive access to a fake/empty contact, calendar, call list, gps etc.?
I am aware of apps such as AppOPs or whatever the name is, but I think we can all agree that nowadays, you can't trust ANY app. Especially if it's from the (censored) playstore.
PS: Would a new user profile like Island or Shelter even isolate contacts, call list, gps etc? How about battery consumption (running 2 users)
