I'm just using the default GrapheneOS SMS app, but it's concerning seeing the number of these FOSS apps lately adding major privacy invasive permission changes. Are there a few big companies buying them up for a quick buck, or what?

Not really the focus here, but Google could really improve those listings by providing some guidance as to what permissions are actually required for certain tasks.

I am not certain I would know if am SMS program needs full Internet access or not.

(I get in this instance everything added is bad.)
