Fandoy war? This basic privacy/security feature has been in iOS since forever. It is as common sense as you can get. Not having it is actually outright hostile towards users. I've used both Android and iOS for some time and I can tell you without a shadow of doubt that iOS is far superior.
In the meantime... talk to me when Android gets this basic feature in 6.0.

- Tloewald 11y agoOr October for non-developers. Was that half a year ago? Oh and it only works for apps targeting the latest APIs, which is how many apps?
- tarblog 11y ago>has been in iOS since forever Granular permissions have only been in iOS since version 6.0, which came out 3 years ago. The first version of iOS was 8 years ago. For a feature that's "as common sense as it gets" we sure got along fine without it for half a decade.
- JoBrad 11y agoI wouldn't say we were getting along fine without it. There were some pretty big privacy breaches[1], which helped move Apple forward. I think Google and Android are great, but on this topic they have held out for as long as possible, it seems[2].
