  • camera and microphone questions

    From T@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 1 17:09:30 2024
    Hi All,

    Two questions on the camera and microphone:

    1) is there a way to ask Android for a list of everything
    that has permissions to either or both the camera and
    microphone ?

    2) is there a global way to disable ALL access/permissions
    to both the camera and the microphone?

    Many thanks,
    -T

    Sure. The path to the settings is on a Pixel 7 (German GUI):

    Settings - Data Protection&Security - Data Protection. There you will
    find settings and global switches.

    2) is there a global way to disable ALL access/permissions

    You have there global switches for the camera, the microphone and some more.

    Many thanks,
    -T

    Your welcome,
    Jörg

    BTW: Open "Settings" and enter "Permission Manager" should also work
    with other starters than the one from Google.

    (I have this installed but I don't see an APK there anymore.)

    4. ADB
    adb shell pm grant <sample.package.id> android.permission.<PERMISSION_NAME>
    adb shell pm revoke <sample.package.id> android.permission.<PERMISSION_NAME>

    For example:
    adb shell pm list permissions | FindStr facebook
    This should list all permissions granted for that particular app.

    adb shell pm revoke com.facebook.appmanager android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
    This should revoke the stated permissions from that app.

    adb shell pm grant com.facebook.appmanager android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
    This should grant the stated permissions to that app.
