About this APK

It asks for 82 permissions, 17 of them sensitive, including precise location, camera and record audio. It asks for the same permissions as version 531.0.0.42.109.

Description
From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.
The Workplace Chat app lets you keep in touch with your colleagues, wherever you are. Simply sign in to your existing account, or create one from scratch in the app itself.
Using messaging tools that your teams are already familiar with, Workplace Chat lets you:
- send messages to individual colleagues, or have group conversations;
- share unlimited files, photos and videos;
- make voice and video calls from anywhere in the world;
- turn on "Do not disturb" when you're busy or away from work.
Workplace Chat is ad-free and totally separate from Facebook and Messenger, making it easier to balance your work and private lives.
