I'm not sure about recent Android version, but on my 3~4 years old Alcatel with Android v4.3, there is already a rudimentary preference menu listing the last accesses of app to resources (eg "Instagram accessed contact list 3 hours ago"). The menu is not easily accessible, I found it by chance.
- Sylos 9y agoYou're probably seeing the App Ops menu. That appeared in 4.3, hardly accessible. Was made somewhat more accessible in 4.4 and then was patched out in something like 4.4.1 or so. I presume, some Google exec got to know of it and demanded it removed. Starting with Android 6, there's the new permission model, meaning that a similar screen is added to the settings of each app, but it doesn't show when an access happened (or at least it does not for me on Android 8.1).
