I am fully aware of what vpn services to use and not. I am not using Express VPN, I am simply doing research for a master thesis, when I came across these results from Express VPN. If you have any ideas or corrections, please let me know why a VPN provider would need to have access to these permissions.
Screenshot is from Exodus service, which let’s you view what exactly perimissions and trackers each app uses. You can check out the results and the tool for yourself here: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/com.expressvpn.vpn/latest/

“Read the fucking post” lawl, the post says “I don’t use ExpressVPN,” and the person I replied to was like “Don’t use ExpressVPN!”
The intention wasn’t to be a direct response to the OP, but to be a general statement of advice.
