Permissions control to the max?

Mar 14, 2015 1:16AM PDT

Someone asked me about finer levels of permissions controls for Android so I went looking again and was a little surprised at the finding.

"The feature is apparently called App Ops, and lets users toggle app permissions — such as location and the ability to post notifications — on and off for individual apps. Android Police notes that a developer has already created an app (available here on Google Play if you have Android 4.3 installed) that foregrounds App Ops, and has been having a play around with it."

The app "Permission Manager" installed I'll get the Pro version later if I don't find an alternative.

There's some chatter and articles this may arrive in an OS update.
