This has been the case from the start of the Apple App Store. Here is a 3 minute video of Steve Jobs talking about it in 2010 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39iKLwlUqBo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39iKLwlUqBo (Zuckerberg comes up too funnily enough).
- rgovostes 6y agoI was referring to these, introduced two years ago in iOS 11.3: https://www.idownloadblog.com/2018/01/26/apple-privacy-icon-example/ https://www.idownloadblog.com/2018/01/26/apple-privacy-icon-... I think you are referring to the "Allow Facebook to use your location?" pop-ups. Notably, these have gotten progressively more sophisticated—apps now have to specify a reason for the data request. You can block access to backgrounded apps, and opt to provide a coarse location instead of your full GPS fix. Other protections apply to photo sharing, etc.
