Kevin & all

I'm curious

Why would any app want to do this:-

SMS

• read your text messages (SMS or MMS)
• edit your text messages (SMS or MMS)

Storage

• read the contents of your USB storage
• modify or delete the contents of your USB storage

This is very serious. And it goes back to ourselves. 

Why would you download an app that wants permission to edit your SMS and other data??? 

Why? 

Can someone explain to me the reason why any app would want permission to edit your data???
