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?

For everyone still using Simple Tools apps, switch to Fossify it’s a fork that has all that crap removed

They were sold to ZippoApps, who specializes in adding crapware to apps.

What else would we expect anyway…
