It's' been a few years since I used an Android phone daily. But one of the nice things about iOS is the granularity of permissions. For Android app permissions are asked once during install and you take it or leave it. iOS is constantly renewing requests for location permissions and other things. And it reinforces that you are in control of your device. If you don't want an app or site to have location data you don't have to give it.

- tsimionescu 3y agoThe same is true on Android today. You are asked for permissions the first time the app needs them, not at installation time. And various things require various permissions, you don't get asked in bulk.
- Xorlev 3y agoAndroid also reaps permissions that haven't been used recently. In the case of location, Android prompts for renewal even if it has been used recently.
- ajross 3y ago> For Android app permissions are asked once during install and you take it or leave it. This is not correct. In fact the permissions paradigm for both systems is basically identical.
- josephcsible 3y agoAre you comparing the permission system iOS has today with the one Android had a decade ago?
- realusername 3y ago> For Android app permissions are asked once during install and you take it or leave it I hasn't been like this for at least 5 years (maybe more), your knowledge is out of date. Android permissions are asked whenever needed, granular and regularly expire automatically.
