After downloading the app in the phone, it asks for some permissions. Many people allow it without even looking. If you are also among the people doing this, then let us tell you that this can be dangerous. Actually, many apps also ask for unnecessary permissions. As soon as this permission is allowed, the risk to your data increases and it may also fall into the wrong hands. Therefore, while allowing permission to any app in your smartphone, many things should be kept in mind.
What are app permissions?
Apps request permissions to access some feature or data on your device. For example, a photo editing app requires access to the camera and photo gallery. In this way, some permissions are necessary, while many apps also ask for non-essential permissions. A case also came to light in which a flashlight app was asking for permission to access contacts.
There are many disadvantages of app permissions
If you give all the permissions to an app without checking it, it can cause many disadvantages. With the help of these permissions, apps can install malware on your device. Similarly, the location of your device can be continuously tracked, so that it can be known where you are in real-time. Apart from this, the risk of data theft from the device and financial fraud also increases.
Be careful while allowing these permissions
If any app is asking for any permission beyond its function then do not allow it. Be especially careful while giving access to camera and microphone. With their help you can be recorded and your words can be heard. Instead of full-time access to location, select only while using the app. With this your location will not be tracked throughout the day. Similarly, important data is stored in contact and storage. Give permissions only to those apps which really need them.
