Why do all software now need permission to address book and photo album?

Many friends, especially Android users, must have found it when they use their smartphones every day. Many applications need permission to view your address book, photo album, SMS, location and so on when they are used for the first time after installation. Why? Can we not allow it?

So, why do these applications get these permissions? In fact, they have different rights for different purposes.

Let's talk about accessing the address book first. The reason why the application wants to access your address book is to help you match your friends in the address book and let you quickly find social links and resumes of people you know in the application. Secondly, the application hopes to find potential users through your address book, thus prompting you to invite friends in the address book to download and register the software in the application.

Many softwares also need to use other permissions. The main banner is to let users have a better experience, but the "hidden rules" behind it will not be said. This is why many people choose Apple phones. Of course, whether you use Android or Apple, all kinds of information are unavoidable.

Therefore, these permissions required by these applications may lead to various privacy leakage problems. Can we not allow the application access?

Because many friends will say that if you choose not to allow it, you may not be able to install it directly. In fact, I personally think that if it is commonly used software, such as WeChat, Taobao and Alipay, it is still allowed. After all, these are just needed, and many functions cannot be realized.

If not, you can't use other applications that are not commonly used. You can also allow them first, and then turn off some permissions in phone settings. Most mobile phones support this function, depending on individual needs.
