why cant android rat developers hide the" install this rat"shit? - germi89 - Aug 18, 2017

I have tried spynote, sure, it works but it would work 1000% better if there were no text saying " this app will see you messeges, record your calls, use your cam" and so on.

Why is this text visible in the first place? makes no sense for me

Its probably because the rat is meant for legitimate purposes and not for malicious use

That's why

Ever since Android 6 every app has to ask permission to see storage, camera etc.

Every app makes you do this, don't think its possible to get around

Yea, this is not up to the rat developer. You would have to get your hands on some serious exploits in order to hide that prompt and still actually get access.

Nope, not at all. It's an android feature.

Plenty of malicious and non malicious apps do that. There have been workarounds on what is shown by android in terms of what the app does, but not much more.

Read the entity of the thread next time.

Spynote is not giving this message, the android system itself is.

EVERY app you install on android needs permission to access the phones resources.

I second the irritating part.. yes it's Android that is asking all that. Next time read and think before correcting.

It's not the permission part, it's the detection part that is irritating. If the playstore/default AV doesn't detect, it would be a lot better.
