Android APP's Permissions


App permissions notification

Almost all apps require your permission to use your Android's features. These permissions are written by Google, but do not necessarily reflect how our app will use them on your device.

When you install or update our Android app, we may ask for your consent to access permissions on your mobile device. Below are some of the permissions required by our app and examples of how we use them. You can see a complete list of permissions the app uses by visiting the Play Store.

What permissions do we use?

Permissions name: android.permission.SET_WALLPAPER

Allows applications to set the wallpaper.

Permissions name: android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

Required, to display or use the current background.

Permissions name: android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE, android.permission.INTERNET

These permissions are related to the internet access. The INTERNET one is so we can perform operations that require internet and the other are just so we can know if we’re connected to a network or if we have internet at all.

Permission name: android.permission.WAKE_LOCK

This permission allows an app to keep the phone awake for a certain amount of time.

Permissions name: com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE, com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE

Both of these permissions are defined by Google. The RECEIVE is used to receive push notifications and the BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE is used by Firebase to recognize where the app was installed from.
