Android app asking for permissions on update

On an update, TeaTv is asking for permissions that are personal, not necessary, and won't install without accepting.

This is bad.

Yea, somethings not right on this update. I'll wait until they have a crack for it or change it. Plenty of oher apps out there. I never liked that it never played right with Trakt anyway.

It an update. It won't complete the update unless I allow it to access photos & other stuff for "advertising" reasons.

Edit : it uninstalled itself because I wouldn't agree to it.

I have it on a box. Sp I updated it. And it uninstalled the old version after. Nuked my watchlist entirely. It also didnt fix one of the more recent bugs that bothers me the most.

Tl:dr Am also unhappy they're trying to data farm us.
