What app permissions should I turn off?
Watch out for permissions like access to your location, camera, microphone, contacts, browsing history and photo library. These can be particularly invasive and risky if not explicitly required for an app to function.
Can I use the app that I bought on Android on iOS?
Do I have to buy it again for the other operating system? Apple's iOS and Google's Android are independent operating systems, like Mac OS and Windows. That means that software or apps written for one won't work on the other. iOS apps are sold on the App Store, whereas Android apps are sold on the Google Play Store.
How do app permissions work?
You can allow some apps to use various features on your phone, such as your camera or contacts list. An app will send a notification to ask for permission to use features on your phone, which you can Allow or Deny. You can also change permissions for a single app or by permission type in your phone's Settings.
