What To Check

Safety considerations will appear here.

A permission by itself does not prove that an app is safe or unsafe. Consider whether the permission makes sense for what the app actually does.

Low Attention

Usually supports a basic app function and normally exposes little sensitive personal information.

Medium Attention

Can access a device feature or personal information. Check whether the app genuinely needs it.

High Attention

Can provide access to particularly sensitive information or powerful device actions. Review the reason carefully.
