Android user-permissions

App permissions explained

Body Sensors – allows access to your health data and step count, from paired heart-rate monitors, fitness trackers, and other sensors.

Calendar – allows apps to read, create, edit, or delete your calendar events.

Camera – taking photos and recording video.

Contacts – read, create, or edit your contact list, as well as access the list of all accounts used on your device.

Location – access your location using GPS for high accuracy, and cellular data and Wi-Fi for approximate accuracy.

Microphone – used for recording audio, including for video.

Phone – access your phone number and network info. Required for making calls and VoIP, voicemail, call redirect, and editing call logs.

SMS – read, receive, and send MMS and SMS messages.

Storage – read and write files to your phone’s internal and external storage.

Now let's come to androidmanifest.xml in this we can see app permissions that what things that it can use with the permissions lines

If an app don't have user permission line in AndroidManifest.xml then the app cannot access the permissions anymore... 

So if you delete that line then the app cannot  access 

As the name suggests, app permissions govern what your app is allowed to do and access. This ranges from access to data stored on your phone, like contacts and media files, through to pieces of hardware like your handset's camera or microphone. Granting permission allows the app to use the feature.

Ex:

If you see androidmanifest.xml

There are lots of user-permission

But most of apps don't even require that permissions

Ex:
album app
Only needs storage,gallery,camera but they also have some permissions like phone,network state,etc
So this leads to privacy concern to think about.... 

So we can delete that lines then the app no longer can access that permissions 

Ex:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

If we remove Internet permission in AndroidManifest.xml then the app no longer can use internet...

Like this we can remove unwanted permissions so that we can safe gaurd our privacy in the internet world....


*Ok if you add this permission then you're app kills from recent tab automatically after some time like 5min if you are not using that app

<uses-permission
 android:name="android.permission.KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES"
  >

Ok now I'll give important user-permissions... Maybe you can understand by this list... You can check that permissions uses in Google 😅
