Requests unnecessary access to my personal files and contacts. Difficult to shut down. Push notifications. I want NONE of this. The last straw for me was when Facebook messenger pocket dialed a "friend" I hadn't talked to in 7 years. Not only was it something I had no use for, it was outright invasive.
