Indicators are a good step, but wouldn't it be better to disallow apps from turning on the camera without the user's explicit consent altogether?
- Operative0198 4y agoNothing like that on Android happens without explicit consent. And the controls around this consent are very very robust imo.
- pas 4y agothe current model is a very strict "allow once" or "allow while using the app" and the only "background" way is to have a persistent/permanent notification so far I have seen the Blokada, VPN apps and the Shazam app do this
- ignoramous 4y agoAndroid requires foreground apps to show a persistent notification (which are dismissible only on Android 13+).
