Too many permissions

  1. Liangliang

    手机(shǒujī)说(shuō)这个(zhège)软件(ruǎnjiàn)要(yào)相机(xiàngjī)的(de)权限(quánxiàn)

    My phone says this app wants permission to use the camera.

  2. Dengdeng

    你(nǐ)同意(tóngyì)吗(ma)？

    Do you agree?

  3. Liangliang

    不(bù)同意(tóngyì)，一个(yīgè)看(kàn)天气(tiānqì)的(de)软件(ruǎnjiàn)为什么(wèishénme)要(yào)相机(xiàngjī)权限(quánxiàn)？

    No. Why would a weather app need camera permission?

    我(wǒ)关(guān)了(le)权限(quánxiàn)，天气(tiānqì)还(hái)能(néng)看(kàn)，今天(jīntiān)二十(èrshí)度(dù)
