Have you given Pokémon Go full access to everything in your Google account?

Users who signed up to play the game's iOS app were scared to find it had been granted 'full access' to Google - but the company says that sounds worse than it is

Gamers who have downloaded the Poki(C)mon Go augmented reality game were given a scare on Monday, after noticing that the app had apparently been granted "full access" to their Google accounts.

Taken at face value, the permissions would have represented a major security vulnerability, albeit one that only appeared to affect players who signed up to play the game using their Google account on Apple devices.
