| yeah they do that for location*, they should warn if an app is constantly accessing the camera roll |

| For what it’s worth, iOS does warn when an app has full access to the photo library for a while. E.g.: > "WhatsApp" has been able to access your entire photo library for 6 months. Do you want to continue to allow full

| Do you mean prompting for permission to scan local networks? “Localization” normally refers to translating an app into another language. |
