ჩანსAs it seems Android 13 will not allow permissions on some apps that it considers “offensive.” This way, certain types of applications will not be able to access information about you Mobile devicesEven if the customer wants to provide it.

Until now, Android app permission limits were quite weak. In fact, in a few previous releases, you can see How some permissions are grouped into categories; Instead of providing more specific control over each.

Hoda seems to have taken action on this issue from Mountain View and Now Android 13 provides an additional barrier To make it easier for third parties to access users’ personal information.

Yes This restriction applies to applications that are installed outside Google Play Store. The above is because although the Google Store is a fairly secure place; Many services or websites require their users to install APK files from sources other than the official method. Therefore, it is much easier than Cybercriminals Or malicious companies take advantage of the lack of a security shield.

This is not an absolute limitation, so you can avoid this feature in Android 13

Of course, Android does not issue full licenses for these types of apps. If you want to change them for a specific application, you can do so without any problems. The good news is that Android 13 creates a more secure environment for users who do not know how app permissions work on their mobile devices.

If you want to grant permissions to apps that are installed using methods other than the Play Store, you only need to enable one option. Is about “Restrict access allowed”, A feature that allows you to grant or deny permissions to these types of applications and services.

To activate it, just go to it Information menu for each application And enable the above option. Done, now you can have more freedom! But at a lower security cost.
