Google is bringing Individual app permissions control to Android M

By: carfire on 7:16 PM

In this morning  Google would be announcing granular permission controls at Google I/O 2015, and that’s exactly what happened during this morning’s keynote. Google has just announced Android M, and a big part of the new version of the OS is more user control over individual app permissions.

Till  now, when installing an app, you granted permission for everything with no control over exactly what you were approving. With the new system, you’ll be asked to approve each category of permissions the first time the app tries to access that feature of your phone, instead of approving all of them upon installation of the app. Users will be able to allow or deny app access to six different permissions – contacts, phone, camera, location, microphone and SMS.
