Review Device Information Apps Before Sharing Hardware and Network Details

A device-information app can summarize the phone model, processor, memory, battery sensors, display, storage, network state, and software build in one place.

What Are Android Permissions?

What Are Android Permissions?

One of the critical parts of Android that is often overlooked is app permissions. Any app that you install on your phone has to ask for explicit access to potentially sensitive areas of your device, but they don’t always ask for these honorably.

Thankfully, Android permissions have taken a turn for the better in its most recent update (Android 6.0 Marshmallow), but less than 3%of people have…
