You know it very well, Android applications are sometimes too curious. When you install an application, a message displays the different actions it takes on your device: the right to access your contact list, to automatically turn on at startup, to access the internet or your SMS, know your location, etc.
Indeed, many applications from the Google Play Store require the installation of a lot more rights than they really need. Why, for example, would the calculator app need to know your location or be able to send text messages?
If you don't want your privacy exposed, APK Permissions Remover will help you by removing permissions.
APK Permission Remover is an Android application that allows you to modify APKs or applications already installed on your smartphone or tablet, in order to withdraw their rights.
To use it, it's simple! Download the app from Google Play. Done Open an apk ou Open an app, remove the permissions that bother you on the application of your choice and choose Save & Re-Install.
Be careful, if you abuse too much, some apps will crash or refuse to launch. Best of all, you don't have to have a rooted device to use it.
I had at one time removed permissions from applications, I had to reinstall them, they no longer worked
I will test. At one time there was a Chinese app that did it but the updates were not translated into fr, which made the settings complicated. Thank you
@niko: Interesting what you say. If it's a non-open source application, be careful!
However APK Permission Remover is available on the Play Store which means that it respects the rules of the Market.
And if you are still concerned, it is possible to recover the source code of the application and analyze it by yourself or by an expert.
How can we trust the application since it is not apps from the market that are reinstalled and our information is not retransmitted?
Having a blackberry under OS10 I must admit that privacy remains something very important about which I have no complaints, I have just acquired an android tablet and I was looking for an application of this type Thank you Ahmed! ^^
