Whoah! How many Google Play apps want to read your texts?

"do not automatically update" flag

Apps which have new permissions will not be updated automatically nomatter how your flags are set. Additionally, pressing "Update All" does not update those apps - it notifies you of changes* and prompts you to accept or skip the update. I have a number of apps in my Updates list which have been there for many months following the introduction of an unnecessary invasive requirement.

It *used* to notify you of the changes, but after their "simplification" of the permissions system it just says that something is different and leaves you to work out what it is.
