Audit app permissions (The “Why Does Solitaire Need My Contacts?” check)¶

Why? Apps are nosy. A flashlight shouldn’t need your location 24/7.

How-to?¶

• Android: Settings → Apps → “App Name” → Permissions → Revoke unnecessary ones.

• iPhone: Settings → Privacy & Security → Check each permission category.

Red flags¶

• Weather apps requesting SMS access.

• Games using microphone/camera.

• “Free” VPNs with 100 trackers.

Nuclear Option: Use Shelter (Android) to sandbox shady apps.
