Android and iOS both require user permission for apps to access contacts or location.
Are there other platforms that can't even manage this basic level of user protection?
- grumbel 6mo agoAs long as the application is made aware of the permissions and can prevent functioning when they get denied, that doesn't really help much. It's the choice between getting mugged or never leaving the house. The ability to deny permissions without the app noticing or filling it with fake data doesn't exist on either system.
- duped 6mo agoYes, Windows.
- prmoustache 6mo agoNot a single platform require permission from each individual contact in your adress book to access them and that is the real problem.
- velocity3230 6mo agoGrapheneOS allows for this. It's called Contacts Scope.
- prmoustache 6mo agoNot really it asks the user of the device, not the individual contacts whose PII data could be treated by third parties tb hey never gave consent to.
