This article touches on some new app permissions Google is pushing out. They are making it so apps that haven’t been used in months will auto-reset their permissions. This is a step in the correct direction for user privacy and security, as app permission can be overreaching often times. And usually it is the apps that are forgotten about and left on the phone that are the ones with too much access. Resetting the permissions makes it so the user is more in control of what permission they are allowing apps, and for how long.

This is great news. I wonder how these changes will affect the Google Play store going forward. Given the focus on privacy, I could see them becoming more restrictive with app submissions similar to how Apple runs the app store.
