Android Simplifies Permissions UI in Play Store: Threat or Shield


Just over a week, Google introduced their latest version of the Play Store with the tweak in the permissions. Developers are now likely going to see related permissions grouped together when you update the apps.
With Google, discarding the old User Interface to make the installation process comfortable, but this simplicity also has some potential implication where we need to worry.

According to the Android Police, previously Google updated apps via Plat Store and dropped a notification at the users account if any new permission were added. However, with the new permission UI, a user will be notified that there is a change if a new group adds. It indicates a serious threat, were permissions can add up without your knowledge. Aptly speaking, when new permission adds up, developers would see no new changes until they add a new category.
Not so great for those who are attentive for new permissions and do not make everything a free-for-all.as Android Police shares, permissions have to be in an already-approved group in order to get added. Well, it does not seem to have much in the way of risk prioritization.
Well, mobile app development teams still have a space and scope to work with the permissions amicably. To know more about this recent update and its implications find it out with Android Police, and research thoroughly, before installing or updating apps you are not sure.
