The question is: why wasn't this permission asked since version 1.0 of iOS?
Android has had it since day one, isn't it common sense to assume that users might want to approve such access?

- antonyh 15y agoWhat Android doesn't have is the ability for the user to deny permissions. It does inform the user when installing the software, but there's still no way I can control permissions of Application X and disable it's access to contacts, SMS, and so on. iOS gives every app the same rights, Android presents a list of permissions without the ability to disable any of them. What's the difference? I suspect that the vast majority of users don't read that list anyway and just click through. Those that do read it and understand it have only two options - ok to everything, or don't use the app.
