Voice Recorder

[WalkieTechie]

Why the hell does the Voice Recorder needs permission of Nearby devices and Phone to do a normal voice recording. It doesn't even start if you don't give these permissions!

This is just outright breach on customers' control of their devices.

Does it ?
.
Here it says only needs Microphone and Storage permissions...
.
Other are optional
.
Which app you are using brother ? 🙄

[WalkieTechie]

I am using the inbuilt Voice Recorder app of Samsung. And no it doesn't open even after giving microphone and storage permissions. Refer to attached screenshots.

[mHappiee]

Nope
.
I install it now ... And used it ...
.
It did not asked for those extra permissions which you mentioned 🙄

[mHappiee]

See...

Which phone you have ..,? It is asking for every permission in Note 20 Ultra UI 4.0

[mHappiee]

Wait a min... In second screenshot, i see "Speech to text" tab... This is not there in the app which I installed...
.
Your and mine app are different i believe...
.
My app is https://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.sec.android.app.voicenote&cId=000005986593

The link opens the same app which I have. Are you using One UI 3 or 4?

[mHappiee]

3.1

Maybe then this issue is happening only in One UI 4!
