I installed this app for a short time to try out some functions of my Google Home system. I explicitly did NOT give permission for the app to rummage through my contacts, as I had no intention if using it to call people.
Next thing I know people are calling me using Meet, telling me the received a push notification saying “I wanted to use Meet with them”. I never indicated I wanted to use meet, I told it to stay away from my contacts, yet it still took it upon itself to send people messages “in my name”. Which essentially means Google uses data from my contacts which I EXPLICITLY told it to stay away from… typical data-hoarding/stealing Google.
Needless to say I immediately deleted the app and will never install it again.
