From Now On, Only Default Android Apps Can Access Call Log and SMS Data

October 9, 2018 by Connor Fairman 1 Comment

Google+ is being shut down after a data breach was recently discovered. Additionally, android is cracking down on what apps can access about their users. From now on, third party apps will not be able to access call logs and SMS data.

Third party apps can still request permission, but users will have to approve each area that the app would like access to, such as the call log, location services, SMS data, etc.

    Hi Connor

    It is a important information for Android users. Almost ever application requests users to grant permissions for them to access to the personal information on the phones. The permissions include location, name, phone numbers, contacts, or camera. Users should think about do they agree to allow the applications to access these information.
