Hi,

it forwards me here https://support3.avast.com/index.php?languageid=1&group=eng&_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=1252 Hmm, does simple support.avast.com load for you? I just tried on my mobile connection (which is outside company network) and it loads for me just fine.

Yes. It brings me to this page. (See screenshot)

And this one doesn’t load, right? https://support3.avast.com/

Filip

Yes, that’s right. It doesn’t load.

Hi! I have paid my premium version, but I’m using another device and the status of signature in playstore says it’s canceled. how do I transfer my signature to the new device?

28

Hi,

you don’t as it’s completely free now.

Hi Filip, the problem is back, as the link leads to an empty FAQ.
I’d suggest to either update the FAQ or unsticky this thread.

Cheers,

Hi,

I’m not a mod anymore so can’t really help you with that :frowning:

Filip

Edit: To be clear, I’m kind of a half mod here, I can remove posts for example (I think), but can’t edit them.

31

OK Fillip, so could you please forward it to the one in charge now…? Thanks.

32

Hi, it has been changed.

33

Thanks Tereza & Tomas. :slight_smile:

34

Hmm, I don’t see a complete breakdown of what all the permissions are used for.
Perhaps the link is down again?
I get directed to a generalized FAQ page that mentions a couple of permissions and why they are required but not all.
I already understand what most of the permissions are used for except Bluetooth Admin.
What is this used for in the Avast app?

35

I guess my valid question does not deserve an answer.
Raises more questions.

A reworked FAQ article was promised a while ago.
Still waiting… :frowning: :-\

Yes, that was over a year ago!

Hi, sorry for the delay - there were some other priorities recently and it was hard to get this through, but we finally have the promised FAQ article. Find it on https://support.avast.com/en-us/article/Mobile-Security-permissions/

Thanks Tereza, better late than never… :wink:
