Wise app requires phone permission for google services

turmoil2750

Is this a joke? Wise says it won't run unless i grant phone permission to google services.

Any way around this?

turmoil2750 I don't use wise, but I have some other banking apps that ask for this too, touching outside of the notification allows me to dismiss it and continue anyway.

I have wise installed in a profile without google services at all and i do not have to give it phone permission.
only network, sensors and camera
if it s requests then do not install it. it needs phone probably to verify your phone sms.

same thing with curve and some other banking apps. curve workes but it does not open credit card details without this perm.

thanks everyone, yeah i got it to work without giving the permission. i was panicking because for a while it was giving an error message in the app, saying it can't show me my transactions, which stopped happening a little later

this whole situation is crazy. all these apps are absolute garbage. is wise going to follow revolut in locking down the whole app?
