I am an regular Flipkart User, and I do not like this behaviour, Flipkart is forcing me to move to an mobile app, just to have better control and tracking.
They have already stopped supporting the mobile website, and it simply instructs you to download the app to continue.
This is the moment I have completely stopped using flipkart and moved to amazon.in
I like website more than app, both gets the job done, where as In an mobile app I have to give various permission which is not required for a simple E-Commerce website (which suggest the are just doing it for the data)
See the list of permission used by the app below.
