MyPermissions Gives You Complete Control Over Which Applications Can Access Your Data.
Android / iOS: Every app on your smartphone has many permissions , some of which are required and others are not – MyPermissions helps you manage them all and cuts out those that like to look where they don’t belong.
MyPermissions has been around for a while, but their latest update includes actively scanning for apps and app updates that change their permission levels or start using permissions they’ve never used before – especially useful if you have automatic updates enabled on Google Play.
Open the app and it will scan your installed apps and tell you which ones are using things like your location, inbox access and contacts, have access to your camera or photos, etc. You can tap any category. to see more about each application and categories, sorted by “risk” in descending order. When you see that a stupid time-wasting game has access to your photos, you have the option to either add the app to your trust list, delete it, or see what other permissions it has access to. Best of all, MyPermissions quantifies the permissions the app has access to in terms of how it actually affects you, so you don’t have to worry about what that might mean. You will learn.
All in all, this is a great way to find out what access all of your apps have and choose which apps are allowed to access your data and which ones aren’t. Click on the link below to watch them.
