If you install the Messenger app, you should
see a screen letting you know that the app is asking for your permission to
access information or use features from your Android phone or tablet. Almost
all apps need certain permissions to run on Android, and we use these
permissions to help enable features in the app and create a better experience
for you. Keep in mind that Android controls the way the permissions are named,
and the way they’re named doesn’t necessarily reflect how the Messenger app and
other apps use them.Below you'll find a list of some of the permissions we
currently request for the Messenger app on Android, as well as an example of
how we use each one. This list is meant to give you a better understanding of
how we use these permissions, but it doesn't include all of our uses of these
permissions. If you've already installed the Messenger app, you can find a list
of the permissions the app uses in your phone or tablet's Applications Manager,
or by visiting the Play Store and clicking View Details under Permissions.Note
that the names of these permissions and how they're displayed on your device
may differ depending on what version of Android you're using.
Android permission (what you’ll see on your
Android phone or tablet) and examples of what we use this permission for: Take
pictures and videos: This permission allows you to take photos and videos
within the Messenger app to easily send to your friends and other contacts. Record
audio: This permission allows you to record and send videos and voice
messages and make voice calls within Messenger. Read your contacts: This
permission allows you to add your phone contacts as Messenger contacts if you
choose to do so. You can always stop syncing your phone contacts by going to
your Messenger settings. Directly call phone numbers: This permission
allows you to call a Messenger contact by tapping on the person's phone number
directly from the menu of your conversation with them. Receive text messages
(SMS): If you add a phone number to Messenger, this allows us to confirm
your phone number by finding the confirmation code that we send via text
message.
