Is My Delta App Spying On Me?
I just got my first smartphone this weekend. Yes, I am a laggard

Anyway, being all excited to download the Delta App, I did so.

While playing around with the app, I noticed it was allowing it to access the camera and reads as follows:

"Allows the app to take pictures and videos with the camera. This permission allows the app to use the camera at any time without your confirmation."

I did a download of AA and UA as well and that is not part of the app.

Does DL want to spy on me?

Why the need to use the camera and video wiithout my permission at any time?

I promptly delted the app after reviewing all 15 apps as it was the only one with this issue.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
