What is Android's 'permission auto-reset' feature (introduced in Android 11) and what does it do for apps with targetSdkVersion >= 30?
- A.Permission auto-reset strips the grants from an app that asked for a permission and never called the protected API within thirty days, and the platform reclaims that record to keep the settings list short enough for the user to read through in one sitting
- B.Permission auto-reset is the control in the Privacy Dashboard that a user triggers by hand, and it returns every app on the handset to its default permission state, for a fresh audit from a completely clean starting point each quarter
- C.Android 11 resets the permissions of an app that crashes more than three times in a day, and the platform treats repeated instability as a sign of tampering
- D.If an app targeting API 30+ is not used for a few months, Android automatically resets its runtime permissions to denied and removes temporary file and notification permissions, protecting against dormant apps retaining sensitive access
