Google already changed that in Android 6. You can install an app and only allow it certain permissions.
Of course, thanks to the Android ecosystem, it will take another year or two until a significant portion of people actually switches to devices running Android 6.
- izacus 10y agoActual usage stats from several widely deployed apps to US/EU show that Android 6 and newer is already over 50% of active devices. Slower than iOS yes, but not as alarming anymore.
- newscracker 10y agoPlease provide a citation for your stats if you're going to repeat it. As mentioned in my comment above, the Android official dashboard has Android 6 and newer at less than 27% as per the latest measurement yesterday. [1] I can't imagine how this couldn't be alarming.
