Recently, we were asked why RemoteSMS Pro needs so many Permissions.
So here are the Permissions of RemoteSMS Pro explained in detail (also applies partly to all other apps from ct-designs):
| Permission | Explanation |
|---|---|
| android.permission.INTERNET | Permission is needed to start the Webserver of RemoteSMS Pro |
| android.permission.READ_CONTACTS | This is needed for showing you your contacts and contacts groups on the Webinterface of RemoteSMS Pro |
| android.permission.READ_SMS | RemoteSMS Pro needs this permission for accessing your SMS History |
| android.permission.WRITE_SMS | This is needed in order to delete messages or mark them as read |
| android.permission.SEND_SMS | In order to be actually able to send new Messages from the webinterface this Permission is needed. |
| android.permission.WAKE_LOCK | This permission is needed to avoid the phone going into sleep mode when the screen is turned off and thus slowing things rapidly down. |
| android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE | This permission enables RemoteSMS to read your phone-number and/or your IMEI. This is needed in order for the Android LVL to work (mainly copy-protection). |
| android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE | RemoteSMS Pro caches all HTML code and contact pictures/data on your external sd-card in order to speed things up. Also, this enables you to modify the HTML code of the webpages used and to create your own RemoteSMS Pro Templates. |
| android.permission.BLUETOOTH | Permission needed in order to start the Bluetooth Webserver. |
| android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE | This is needed to display the IP of your phone (the URL you connect to). |
We encourage you to always contact our support first if you have any questions or problems.
