Isn't this exactly how Android does it? I long press the app icon, click app info. All permissions, data usage, battery usage, storage usage options and metrics are shown for the app.
- derefr 6y agoThat still happens outside the app, though. You have to go back to the home screen, find the app icon. I'm talking about a design where there's no "lookup the app" step in any menu (Settings or Home screen); where instead, you go straight to the foreground app's preferences.
- edef 6y agoYou can do this from the app switcher: long-press the "title bar", and there'll be a round "I" button that takes you to the app's settings.
- perryizgr8 6y agoIf I am in the app, I can swipe slowly from the bottom, and click the "app info" button. So no hunting for the app icon needed.
