    Please no! I shouldn’t need to constantly re-grant permissions unless an app has maybe had a major update where it may warrant review.

    I am already annoyed how often iOS asks me am I sure I want an app to run in background etc when that is the point of said app.

      Apple needs a toggle for “I’m not a total noob” to disable some of these things. Well, Microsoft does too but for different things.

      This will probably be a large net benefit since most users are not, uh, proficient and likely grant permissions a little too often. I guess I’d rather click yes repeatedly if it means depriving some corpo from monetizing user screen content. But if they’re adding it, they may as well make it optional.

        It’s really getting on my nerves that the big tech corps all assume their users are stupid and they don’t even offer advanced menus for the rest of us.

      Android turned off AirGuard permissions and background usage because I didn’t open it in a while. Thanks for saving like 1% battery and making me vulnerable to stalkers tracking me with AirTags and Tiles 🤩 Wow, a great trade!
