Google is expected to announce the next version of Android on May 28 at duration of the I/O Developers Conference. Of course with his announcement Android M the company will give us disclose information for the features of the new version.
It is known that each new version of an application or operating system tries to fill gaps of previous versions.
One of Android's weaknesses is privacy checks and Google seems to know it very well. This is probably one of the reasons the company has decided with the new operating system to give Android users more control over the applications they install on their smartphones.
A new Bloomberg publication (the source is not mentioned because, as the site says it prefers to remain anonymous) has confirmed that Google will offer users more choices and settings in the information that apps can access.
For example, new privacy control features may include more control over photos, contacts, or location.
So, if you want, you can prevent an app from accessing your site. The same will apply to an app that tries to access your photos or contacts.
At present, it is unclear whether the new feature it will only be available on Android M, or it will also be extended to previous versions of the operating system.
