Permissions for Samsung Pay

[mccaberk]

Hey I tried looking for the amount of permissions required for Samsung Pay but was unable to find anything.  Can someone please tell me what the permissions the app will request on Android devices?  

Usually Samsung apps request and/or require an abnormal amount of permissions and most of the time a lot of these permissions are completely unnecessary.  I find it weird that I am unable to find a list of permissions for this application.

Thank you to anyone who can provide me with the proper answer.

I just looked, phone, calender, notifications

Before you ask why calendar, to add tickets to concert, planes etc to your calendar.

What about all the other permissions? There has to be use biometric hardware, use fingerprint hardware, view networks maybe even have full network access, read phone state, read settings, read sync, etc.  Those can't be the only permissions. Calendar? Why would I ask why calendar?

Long press on the app, pop-up menu, tap the i to go to the app info page. Very simple really.

Is it that simple? That sounds simple enough.  How do you do that without the app may I ask?

Without the app, you need Samsung Wallet to use Samsung wallet.

Hello and thank you very much for your response.   Could you possibly send a screen shot of one more thing.  When your in the application settings for the Samsung Pay app can you please click the hamburger menu (3 dots at the top right corner of the screen) and then tap on all permissions and please send a screen shot of what's listed in there.  I would greatly appreciate that.   I will mark the solution as correct as you would have listed all the permissions for me.  Thank you so much!! Have a nice day.

This one ?

Yeah I believe that's it.  Which is odd because doesn't the app use biometrics? You would figure that there would have to be a permission for that which I don't see there.   I don't understand why it's so difficult to see the permissions for this app.  Maybe they are tied to Samsung Pass also.  You phone does have a fingerprint scanner?
