I give a few apps background location access, and for a couple of weeks after enabling each android would occasionally ask if the app still needs background data
Comment on Weather app asking for permission to manage calls
TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 10 months agoiOS will sometimes ask you even if the app has been using it (for certain permissions), and might even tell you how often the app has used it. Which is really handy.
Like, “this app has accessed your location from the background 48 times in the last month, you gave it permission, would you like to change it to ‘when using’?” Or “This app has had full access to your photos, would you like to limit it?” (Not exact wording, but you get the idea.)
Something that delighted me when I discovered it.
(Android does permissions very well too, I’m in no way trying to knock it.)

With the last update, Android also started limiting apps’ access to photos on a per-photo basis. Not even Google Lens (which I use to copy text from slides) can see all my photos.

Yeah iOS had had this for 2 or 3 years now, it’s a great feature.
