Google has made changes to the way permissions are approved for Android apps to prevent abuse and potential leakage of sensitive call and text log data by third-party developers. The changes are part of a “root-and-branch” review of apps’ access to Google account and Android device data. Google has updated its Account Permissions system that asks for each requested permission individually rather than all at once, giving users more control over what type of account data they choose to share with each app. Developers have been given 90 days (January 6th) to update their apps and services.
