Was playing around with Webroot on my Android (Marshmallow build, Android 7.0, all current software updates) and decided to do a "Review Apps" scan.
Results are unchanged for example when I access my Metronome app (and app that helps keep time in music) It did have permissions that I thought that an app like that shouldn't have. So I went into the app via Webroot, which took me to the Application Info.
For a test, I turn off every single permission that it did have with the exception of Storage (assuming that it needs to keep the settings I set for it) However, the Notifications and Permissions are not allowed or blocked.
I rescanned and the numbers on the initial App Inspector Review and it remained unchanged.
Now the real question.... Even if I turn off access to those items that I don't want it to have, can the app all of a sudden "re-tick" the checkmark without my permission or will the app continue to do what I didn't authorize it to do when I de-selected Notifications and Permissions?
Just curious.
Thanks all,
