avast! Permission Usage

Changed link in the first post

Filip

Hi Filip, the problem is back, as the link leads to an empty FAQ.
I'd suggest to either update the FAQ or unsticky this thread.

Cheers,
Asyn

Hi,

I'm not a mod anymore so can't really help you with that

Filip

Edit: To be clear, I'm kind of a half mod here, I can remove posts for example (I think), but can't edit them.

OK Fillip, so could you please forward it to the one in charge now..? Thanks.

Thanks Tereza & Tomas.

Hmm, I don't see a complete breakdown of what all the permissions are used for.
Perhaps the link is down again?
I get directed to a generalized FAQ page that mentions a couple of permissions and why they are required  but not all.
I already understand what most of the permissions are used for except Bluetooth Admin.
What is this used for in the Avast app?

I guess my valid question does not deserve an answer.
Raises more questions.

A reworked FAQ article was promised a while ago.
Still waiting...

Yes, that was over a year ago!

Hi, sorry for the delay - there were some other priorities recently and it was hard to get this through, but we finally have the promised FAQ article. Find it on https://support.avast.com/en-us/article/Mobile-Security-permissions/

Thanks Tereza, better late than never...

Avast is the BEST app in this world buttt I can't get it on my phone why? it's Android

Hi, please set up a separate thread for this and specify there how exactly you "can't get it on your phone" (unable to download, install or run?).
