Android apps that haven’t been used for a while will soon begin to automatically lose their permission to access sensitive device features, such as sensors, SMS messages, and contact lists.
Come December, Google plans to ramp up the availability of “permissions auto-reset”, an Android privacy feature that automatically winds back an app’s previously-granted permissions to access a device’s location, camera, microphone and so on.
Google released the feature for Android 11 last year, but in December it will expand it to “billions more devices” via Google Play services on devices running Android 6.0 (API level 23) from 2015 and newer.
