Say what an app permission grants
See what you handed an app when it asked, and hand back less.
A permission is standing consent for one app to reach one thing: the camera, the microphone, where you are.
It does not expire. Every one can be narrowed later, in Settings, without removing the app.
Key points
- A permission is standing consent for one app to reach one thing
- Every one can be narrowed or refused later, without removing the app
What to remember
- While using the app suits almost everything.
- A permission lasts until you take it back.
Try this
Open Settings on your own phone, pick an app you rarely use, and read what it has been granted.
