Android anti-theft app permissions explained
Anti-theft apps need sensitive permissions because they respond to real security events. The important thing is that each permission has a clear purpose.
Camera permission
Camera access allows intruder photo and video capture after wrong unlock attempts or other security triggers.
Location permission
Location access allows GPS recovery alerts with coordinates, accuracy, and map links.
Notification and internet access
Notifications help the owner see alerts, while internet access lets the app send email and upload evidence when the phone is online.
App lock and disguise features
Pro features such as app lock and disguise mode help prevent a thief from finding and disabling the protection.
