Users began to report that Google Play began to identify the 2GIS mapping service application as competitive.
The Ww-market says that 2GIS “attempts to gain access to personal data such as SMS, photos, audio recordings and call logs.” The service stated that this statement does not deserve attention:
These notifications are displayed only with the Google protocol and are the same for all applications that are temporarily available on Google Play.

The Russian company explained that it was requesting access to the microphone and call log so that users could make search queries by voice and call organizations directly from the application. SMS access is required for the controller entry code, which is sent to the user when registering in the application.
Let us remind you that Google removed the 2GIS application from its store in May 2023. [ТАСС]
