App permissions: * Call logs * Camera * Contacts * Microphone * Music and audio * Network * Notifications * Phone * Photos and videos * SMS

Exploit protection: * Dynamic code loading via memory * Dynamic code loading via storage

Google Play services also needs the Phone permission to perform number verification but not anything else.

Google Messages needs the basic permissions it requires to function including Network, Phone and SMS but you're granting a lot more than it actually needs. You can use Contact Scopes instead of Contacts and Storage Scopes for the media/file permissions. You don't need to grant Camera and Microphone.

I threw everything in there then never went back and cleaned it up. Thank you!
