Don’t Mindlessly Allow Apps to Look at Your Data

Most apps you’ll find on the App Store require you to give them access to at least some personal information. Some might need your exact location, while others will need access to your pictures.

However, not every app needs these permissions. Before installing an app, you can scroll to the bottom of the App Store page to see which permissions the app needs to run. Moreover, apps need to ask you for permission before they can access sensitive information such as location, contacts, and photos.

You can always say no, so be mindful of these permission requests, and make sure that the app really needs access to that private data for a good reason.
