### Describe the bug
Considering what AppManager offers as features, Phone permission doesn't seems to be necessary. It's however known that older Android versions could lack some granularity and sometimes requires permissions that seems out of topic, because some more minor permissions were included with it.
Here I was surprised to see AppManager ask for this permission (and to not find any mention anywhere). I was equally surprised to see it offered to handle a phone call when I wanted to issue one after installation.
### To Reproduce
Go for example on an application's "page" in AppManager, if the permission wasn't given, and wasn't permanently denied, it'll request it.
### Expected behavior
This permission doesn't seems necessary to me; however as stated above I can miss some reasons making it mandatory.
If it's mandatory however the application should explain why it does need it.
I'm also very surprised Android offer AppManager to handle phone calls after installation.
