@blakeyrat said in Hey Google Maps, fuck you too:
@onyx Well the example was an ass-pull, my point is on Android I frequently open an app to do something and instead of being able to do something right away, the app has like 57 stupid dialog boxes telling me something I don't give a shit about. (I mean, maybe I would if I had time to read them, but no right now I'm trying to take a photo so I just hit the close box as quickly as possible and literally never read them.)
Well the alternative - and the previous solution Android used - was "either you grant all permissions an app requests in its manifest or you cannot install it". And they changed it to "ask the user about each permission on the fly when requested". Which is much much better in my opinion from a security & privacy perspective.
Whereas in Windows 10 you can go to Settings and revoke permissions but they are grouped by permission, not by app. And some permissions are automatically granted with no UI to revoke them. For example the Messenger app has access to my photos, but the screen to revoke that permission will only be added in the new feature upgrade.
