Android M above (<strike>N</strike>) you can disable various permissions asked by an app. I have disabled everything for Facebook (except storage). No location, contacts, microphone, calendar, phone, sms or even camera. You're not allowed here, facebook. So it can't do much damage for at least those versions of Android.
- abcd_f 10y agoMakes you feel being totally in control, doesn't it?
- piyush_soni 10y agoI understand you might be saying that sarcastically, but yes - as far as these specific permissions on my phone are concerned, I feel being in control (e.g. I know it can't record my voice even if it wants). I have otherwise given a lot of my information to both Facebook and Google, and I'm aware of the potential consequences.
- eps 10y agoSarcasm doesn't do well on HN. Just FYI.

- Nullabillity 10y agoFor the record, that feature was added in Marshmallow, not N.
- piyush_soni 10y agoOops, yes, my mistake (I meant M).
- touristtam 10y agothis is the feature that made me adopt a phone with MIUI on it. prevent application from access what ever, whenever they feel like it.
