Comment on How Whisper app tracks ‘anonymous’ usersparent

Comments

The Whisper app on Android asks for "Device ID & call information" allowing you to see the serial number of a user as well as who they call and who calls them. If you don't collect that info, why is your app requesting permissions to it?

Would not be surprised if it was for a third-party analytics library, but still, that does not go well with a supposedly anonymous app.
