    I installed skype on my Q10, when I checked the apps permissions I saw that skype is using all the phone access : Internet, contacts, shared files, device identifying information, gps location, microphone and the camera, when I try to change this, I can't, why it happens?, it's that normal?

    (a) Skype is an Android port so it will use the default permissions for all Android apps.
    (b) It probably needs most of those permissions to function correctly. The only one which seems pointless is GPS.

    But in your opinion, which one is better, to install it from the app world, or to install directly the sideloaded one from android?

    I removed my native whatsapp and installed the android one, and it work better!!!

    I think that it is better to install from BlackBerry world (as well as the whatsapp which is a native app and it can sync continuously) because you can have all the updates and improvements as soon as they are published. I really can't understand why you would prefer to sideload whatsapp, because the native BlackBerry world is better (n my opinion) as it gives hub integration and has no bug at all. Again, I would use BlackBerry world for every app (I sideload only if there is no other way) .
