Re: "this application wants access to your microphone"

Easy to do on iOS, app doesn't ask for permissions when it is installed it asks for permissions when it starts up. If you don't give it permissions it wants it may not function correctly, but they'd have a tough argument to make that it needs to grab your address book.

Luckily no one I know has ever asked me if I'm on whatsapp so I have no reason to install Zuckerberg's steaming turd.
