I've been seeing a lot of people talking about the "issue" with the new Facebook Messenger TOS (Terms of Service). You need not worry, Android specifies generic categories for certain access, so you may see "Access Phone" or "Access Contacts" but that doesn't mean it has permission willy-nilly to access your phone or contacts.
