This is not an issue on iOS. Does Android actually automatically increase permissions without opt-in from the user?

  No.

  No, that's why they need your permission to update.

    This is one thing iOS does much better than Android. Apps don't request permissions until the moment they need them, instead of the entire laundry list at the installation time. This allows auto-updating of all apps, while still preventing permissions creep.

      Android Marshmallow changes the permission system to work like that.

        Good to hear. I left Android a few years ago for iOS because Apple's system was much, much nicer. These days I may be making the move back. iOS continues to suck more with each new release, and Android is (from what I hear) moving in the other direction.
