    What kind of self hating maniac gives Pokemon Go camera access on top of location permissions? Smh.

      Absolutely every single person who plays the game, that’s who. As far as I know, it’s basically impossible to play that game without it.

        I played for a couple months 2 years ago. It uses GPS to determine if you are at a Gym, Pokestop, or not. Users can submit pics for a new Pokestop, but in all that I’ve played, I’ve never used the AR features or submitted pics. A catch attempt looks like this so does feeding berries and whatnot. There’s different backdrops for time of day if I remember. I barely give anything camera permissions and I keep my rear camera slide covered.
