With the development of science and technology, cell phones have become a necessity in our lives. Nowadays, in order to fully functional cell phones, we play the phone are inseparable from a variety of cell phone software, but we have not found, why some of the cell phone software, must be allowed to access the address book?

When a cell phone is running software, the first thing it needs is for the user to agree to some software terms and conditions, which are complex and many users will agree to directly. The next step is to access the user's address book on the phone, but why does the phone software need to access our address book?

In fact, in our cell phones hide a lot of their own information, such as family members' phone numbers, their own addresses, social circles, and the question of spending power, in fact, their own on the network, has become a "transparent person", these software want to access our address book, to push us to our potential to be The software wants to access our address book to push us to what we potentially want to consume.

Theoretically, this behavior is detrimental to our interests, and accessing the address book is also an illegal activity. Due to the lack of market regulation, some software has a "monopoly" on our daily lives, so if you are prompted by the software to access your address book, you should always choose to decline.

When we download and use a cell phone app, we need to agree to the user agreement of the software before we can start using the app. This has led to some users not caring so much about the content of the agreement, only to know that if you do not agree, you can not use the software. This has prompted users to simply ignore the permissions requested in the agreement and click on agree to the agreement.

Many apps request permission to read contact information for a number of reasons.

One, there is a well-established communication mechanism within this application, such as QQ and WeChat for address book friends.

Two, collect information from all aspects, establish user profiles, and analyze all aspects.

Three, after the analysis, the results can be analyzed to formulate the precise marketing program by category.

Four, can even be used to improper place, our cell phone in a variety of spam text messages is proof.

So as a user, we must be more careful. Regardless of what application to apply for permissions, be sure to identify clearly is not really need this permission, there is no need to apply for permission to resolutely do not give, so as to maximize the protection of their privacy is not leaked. And for software to read the address book this kind of thing, what do you think? I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that!
