I don't see any access granted to Pokemon Go (it's not even listed) in the "Apps Connected to your Account" page: https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions

I am running on a Nexus 6 and signed in with my Google Account when I first launched the app.

Try revoking access and see what happens. Worst case, it might ask you to sign in again.

on iPhone 6s, checked and saw it had full access. I revoked access and opened the app up. It was stuck loading so I logged out and back in. Went back to check app permissions on google and it had full access again.

Wait, you revoked access from within google, and then the pokemon app was able to give itself access again without asking for permission?

if true, something is seriously messed up

Yes. I'm not sure if I need to re-log in the app or not though. Maybe if it didn't freeze and I didn't have to re-log then it might have left the access revoked. But it seems that once I re-log the full access goes back into effect.

re-logging in is re-authorization

It's possible it only does this on iOS, because I signed up normally using iOS and I see this at that link:

Just chiming in that I am another person (using a OnePlus One with cyanogenmod) that does not even see pokemon go in my "Apps Connected to your Account".

According to an update posted now on the article, the problem is only on the iOS version

I also don't see any access granted to Pokemon Go, I signed in on my nexus 5x and was also in the field test.

On my iPhone 6s, it shows full access.

Yeah I'm on a Galaxy S7 and signed up with my google account as well and see no mention of it on my connected apps page

Same here. I recall a "give pokemon go access to your google contacts" dialog (or similar), which I denied.

Same here. I guess "gotta catch 'em" all means something else in this instance

Same here, OnePlus One running CM13, I can't see it in the list (neither release or the previous field test).

I also don't see any app access granted for Pokemon Go under my LG V10 and Google account.

I also do not have a Pokemon/Niantic entry in my list there. No idea what happened for OP

ditto. Recent android phone. This worries me almost as much as the full access issue, cause I definitely signed it to my google account via the app yesterday.
