iPhone has the basic password to install things, and then beyond that:
1) Adult-rated apps need an explicit approval after the password before they will even install. Also applies to updates.
2) On first launch, apps that want to use badges or notifications or notification sounds have to ask for approval, although it is a generic approval of all three and doesn't discuss what they would be fore.
3) Before an app can use location services (current device location), it has to explicitly ask.
- smackfu 15y agoAnd, beyond those facts, my opinions: 1) This is pointless. If you want to block adult-apps, go ahead and do it in Parental Permissions. Especially since a lot of apps are adult because they do web stuff generically. 2) This is pointless, in my opinion, since you can't tell what they plan on doing with the alerts. 3) This works OK, although it is generally triggered after you request something location related so it feels redundant. Like, why is it asking me again, didn't I just click the location button? Does the average user understand that the prompt is coming from the OS rather than the app?
