There's an app called "Bouncer" on Android that does this system-wide. Upon installation (with your permission) it disables all permissions for all apps and then any time you enable a permission for an app, it will ask if you want to keep it, disallow it, or schedule it to be disabled after a specified amount of time.
It's imperfect, but works fairly well.
- vageli 7y agoMany apps seem to fail (rather, they insist you regrant the lost perms) if you manually remove the permissions, does this also happen with Bouncer?
- enobrev 7y agoI've run into a couple apps that essentially won't run without the disabled perm, and Airbnb literally won't start without perms - no re-ask or anything. I generally put that on the dev and decide if the app is worth it at that point. That's also why the scheduled perms are nice, where I can enable the perm for a few minutes or until I close the app.
