What's up with the Netflix app permissions?

by zman0900

This is the only app I've seen that wants the "Device & app history" permission. It "Allows the app to view one or more of: information about activity on the device, which apps are running, browsing history and bookmarks". What legitimate use could they possibly have for this? It seems to me like this would allow Netflix to track everything I do with the device, and possible other devices depending on what is synced from my Google account. I was thinking about trying Netflix again after not using it for a few years, but now I'm not so sure.

Netflix is a terrible app in general. It works like a quick port with no attention paid to the android TV experience
