Real talk, this screenshot is probably for an application intended for hiding communications with another partner from your spouse. When I worked in support for a phone manufacturer I encountered it once while educating a customer about excessive app permissions. I pointed out "for example this calculator app has permission to make and receive calls. A calculator app should never have permissions like that" and he sheepishly explained what the app was and that in this case it actually should. Points for honesty I guess?
