For Android devices, when you download an app from the store, a pop-up will typically display what permissions are required before launching.

Specifies a system permission that the user must grant in order for the app to operate correctly . Permissions are granted by the user when the application is installed (on devices running Android 5.1 and lower) or while the app is running (on devices running Android 6.0 and higher).

The Android permissions controller is a part of the Android operating system that tells apps what they can and can’t access . When you install a new app, the Android permissions controller is what gives you the option to allow or deny permissions for that app.
