And how we, the users, still need to take responsibility
There's been a lot of news lately about a lapse in either security or judgment -- both, really -- at Apple that allows iOS applications to borrow your contact data and send it off to parts unknown without your consent. Apple has addressed the issue to members of the U.S. Congress, and will take steps to hold tighter control in a future iOS update. That's good news, and we're glad to see it happening.
But what about Android? During all this focus on apps doing things without explicit user permission, you see people referring to the Android permissions model. We're going to break it all down for you. It's not perfect, but it works pretty well -- and it's certainly better than no permission system at all.
Let's walk you through permissions on Android, and how you need to be sure to do you part.
