Like Android phones perhaps? Unfortunate Apple gives very little granular control.
- Joe_Cool 6mo agoMost stock android phones don't either. You usually get to control precise location, notifications, some background activity, SMS, Calls, Mic, Camera, SD Card, etc. But most ROMs don't allow controls for WiFi, Cell data, Phone ID, Phone number, User ID, local storage, etc...
- kelvinjps10 6mo agoall these permission you have to accept?
- chneu 6mo agoYes. A few apps have been caught doing nefarious stuff using advertising sdks, like meta, but on android most apps are well sandboxed and can only access what you approve.
- Joe_Cool 6mo agoFor those things you can't control it doesn't ask. You can see those under "other permissions" (or similar). But once you look there it's too late if you care about this data and forgot to turn on airplane mode.
