Overview

MyPermissions Privacy Cleaner is an Android application that allows you to inspect the permissions of all other apps installed on your device. However, it doesn't provide the functionality to revoke these permissions.

Functionality and Ease of Use

MyPermissions Privacy Cleaner is designed with user-friendly interfaces, making it incredibly straightforward to utilize. Upon its first run, the app conducts a risk analysis on all installed apps and generates a report within seconds. This report groups your apps based on the permissions they require, providing you with a clear view of which apps have access to specific permissions.

When you select an app from this list, MyPermissions provides two options. You can either express your trust in the app, after which the app will no longer be flagged as a risk in subsequent reports, or you can uninstall it. The choice to uninstall might seem extreme if you merely have reservations about an app's permissions, but it can be a prudent decision if you have significant trust issues with that app.

Insightful App Permissions Analysis

Although the app does not allow users to revoke permissions directly, MyPermissions Privacy Cleaner offers a valuable service by making you aware of the exact permissions that all your apps have. This knowledge equips you to make informed decisions about whether to keep or uninstall certain apps based on your comfort level with the permissions they require.

In conclusion, MyPermissions Privacy Cleaner is an essential tool for Android users who value their privacy and want to stay informed about the permissions their apps are using. While it could benefit from the addition of a permission revocation feature, its current functionality provides a significant degree of control over your apps and their access to your device.

Pros

  • Conducts a risk analysis of all installed apps

Cons

  • Uninstalling may be the only option if uncomfortable with app permissions

Improved performance and battery consumption

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
  • GET_TASKS: This constant was deprecated in API level 21. No longer enforced.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: Allows an app to create windows using the type TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT, shown on top of all other apps. Very few apps should use this permission; these windows are intended for system-level interaction with the user.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
  • com.android.vending.BILLING
  • com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE
