@kirkmahoneyphd Google sometimes weirds me out with what they want access to. I wrote about an experience I had back in August on the forum here:
GoogleMaps asked for permission to record audio…

Is true privacy actually dead or dying?

@galtions I was away for a short holiday weekend on the Côte d’Azur. I don’t really speak French, so sometimes getting around could be an issue, so I knew I would need some digital help. I took to google maps. Landed in Nice & opened the application: [Screenshot_20230811_191321_Permission controller] Since it’s been awhile since I used this phone I was SHOCKED google maps wants to record AUDIO, all in the name of faster navigation. It completely freaked me out.
