BUT… if, let’s say a agenda app wants to admission your cam, mic and photos you best apparently don’t appetite to acquiesce it. And if it does, maybe it’s a acceptable abstraction to aloof attending for an another app.
When it comes to iOS preferences…. I apperceive we disabled a lot of settings. But ask yourself, do I absolutely charge to be tracked by Apple in adjustment to “offer bigger artefact and services”?
