Question Permissions Removed

[fr8549]

Android removes permissions from unused apps. Many people don't like it, including me.

When I get a notification that an app has had its permissions removed, I am instructed to tap the notification for review.

When I tap the notification, I come to an alphabetical list of all the apps whose permissions have been removed, with no way to sort them.

How do I find out which was the last app whose permissions were adjusted?

Thanks

There's an option to remove this option. Uncheck the box where it says, remove permissions....

VidJunky, Thanks. Even though it's there, that means I have to go through several hundred apps one at a time to change that switch. it doesn't stop that process.

Still my question wasn't about the process; it was how do I see which app was just changed and added to the alphabetical list?

Is there something in Developer Options, perhaps, that I missed? There must be an attribute that can be tracked.

Thanks.

While you may be at a loss for how to sort the list, changing this setting would eliminate the need to worry about which app was affected. You wouldn't have to do this to 100 apps, just the ones you use infrequently that would rather not lose their permissions.

On a side note one solution to your sorting issue would be screenshots. Obviously it won't help with the past but moving forward it could allow you to know what's new. If the list extends beyond the bottom of the page remember screenshot has a scroll feature that will allow you to include the whole list in one shot.

Not a perfect solution but sometimes we don't get perfect.

You shouldn't see 100s of apps in unused they are mainly for apps you download not system apps if you do have more than 100 apps then it's doing its job for unused user apps and there no sure way to sort this out besides turning battery saver off when user apps are unused so they don't lose permissions could be running in background and consume battery.
