    This is very misleading. I’ve got the app on iOS. It basically has no permission to access any of that data, and I’m pretty sure it has never even requested it - which it has to do if it wants it.

    You can literally go in to settings on your iPhone and click those categories and see which apps have requested the info and which you’ve given permission to. LinkedIn hasn’t even requested 95% of those - the only one it has access to on my phone is my photos because I uploaded one once. I can revoke that access at will.

    I’m pretty sure when putting the app on the App Store they’ve just gone “tick all the boxes saying we may request access to this” without even looking at it.
