iOS asking for control my gmail?

ios requesting gmail access/control/to permanently delete things

I got an alert to re enter my password for my gmail account. Not unusual, but today I am seeing something new and want to make sure I am not being scammed. There is a new screen saying

"iOS wants to access your Google account. This will allow iOS to:

  1. Read, compose, send and permanently delete all of your email from gmail
  2. SEE, EDIT, DOWNLOAD, and PERMANENTLY delete your contacts
  3. See, edit, share, and permanently delete all of the calendars you access using Google Calendar"


I have never seen that iOS would want to permanently delete or edit my contacts. I find that odd. Am I crazy or is this normal and I've just never noticed it before?

To improve understanding of the phenomenon, it would be highly beneficial if you could share a screenshot. Visual representations carry greater impact than written descriptions.


Please remember that this is a public forum, so when attaching a screenshot, please avoid including any personal credentials such as IP addresses, card details, email IDs, Apple IDs, IMEI numbers, serial numbers, phone numbers, order IDs, or any identifiable location information if you are sharing a map.



With the limited information that you have provided, It is hard to even guess the problems faced by you.
