Why Do You Have To Be Careful When Allowing Permissions In Android Apps?
Hi everyone Happy Wednesday to all hivers. Almost 90% plus people using Android smartphones and downloading apps from the google play store or from any local website. But many people do not aware of the danger. Even some users are very lazy that they give permission for auto OTP read for every single and unknown application. Always enter otp manually because allowing permission for auto otp read can be trouble for you in the future.
Similarly, I have shared a whole article on this topic. One student did suicide because of this one mistake. He had taken the loan from the scam loan app and the loan amount was around $30. You know $30 is not a small amount for students, they can organize a small party with $30. Now I am not going to share the information that how these loan apps are scamming. He started getting a lot of calls from the loan app emi collectors and they almost demanded double the money. They harassed and abused all of his friends and family members because he had already given permission of contact list so that is why they have all the contact numbers. In the end, that student did suicide.
He was taken a $30 loan but paid by his life. Anyway watch the video and know why you have to be careful when allowing the permissions.
Thank you for being here

A very informative and important topic. I hope people will learn the importance of why allowing permissions to all the things can be trouble.
Sometimes, a photography app asks for making a phone call permission and people give that without thinking.
Thanks for sharing this here .
ya, photo and camera permission is the most dangerous too. Thanks for adding value to the post.
People using truecaller and giving all the media permission which is totally not required. People blindly do it, anyways nice to come across your blog.
You are most welcome.
We called it smartness but it is one of the biggest privacy breach. Even google also read all our gmail mails.
Truth has been spoken by you. This is really not good.
Its very important with permission thigs in android and some apps ask for unnecessary permission just to get access to data and I usually avoid it. For example, some games ask for my call and SMS permission which is not required and I just delete those games and no matter how good this is.. I am strict with thing while installing apps. Useful information
Thanks for the valuable comment. Data is the most important thing for them and also for us. better to be careful
The misfortune is that no one can use Android application without permission. The scam happens with the people who download applications from unknown sources. In fact, it's their greed that makes them do it. If we ignore unknown sources, then we can keep safe our privacy .Play Store is much more secure, but there are also so many applications that can prove harmful. Awareness that is the only medium that can help the people from such scams
play store is also not secure bro. These short-term scam loans are available on the play store as well.
I fail to understand, how devopers allow such applications to keep play store.
