One of Android's weak points is privacy security controls, and it seems Google is well aware of this. This is probably one of the reasons that the company decided with the new operating system to give to users of Android more control over the apps they install on smartphones their.
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, the new features control privacy options 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.
For the time being, it is unclear whether the new feature will be available only on Android M, or it will be extended to previous versions of the operating system.
