Google puts on the handbrake and the permissions of the applications remain in the Play Store



User complaints have made Google reconsider and the company will reverse the way it shows the permissions requested by applications.

Normally the changes that companies make are usually aimed at improving their products and, in fact, over the last few weeks we have seen several announcements that have been quite shocking. Among them was the one made by Google regarding the way it had to show the permissions requested by applications.

In the eternal dispute to keep users of their services safe and to offer interesting elements to developers, those from Mountain View have undertaken a series of changes that not everyone liked. But luckily users have reacted in time since Google has backed down.

What is the problem of the novelty that Google had in hand? User complaints focus on the way in which Mountain View have wanted to implement is completely counterproductive. And, it is that, normally the permissions of the applications could be managed directly from the application store.

What Google wanted was to change this reserved space to know all the details about the permissions necessary for the application to work to a completely different section. Although for those of Mountain View this has seemed like a good idea, many security experts have criticized it.

The reason for the criticism is that Google, in an effort to improve the information that users receive when installing applications, decided to create the new section that we have mentioned. This section explained in detail the permissions that the applications request from the devices for their operation..

But what happens is that this explanation does not make it clear what are the permissions that the specific application needs for its operation. In fact, that is the main problem with what happened with the new way of interacting with application permissions. The positive is that Google has not been slow to respond to criticism.

In a tweet from the official Android Developers account, what is said is that they have taken into account all the comments generated in recent days. Being these comments inspiring enough to take a step back from integrating this feature and go back to the old way.

At the moment, the only thing that can be done is to wait for this maneuver to be carried out correctly. and, therefore, soon you will be able to see the application permissions again like a few weeks ago and, therefore, in the easy and correct way that we are all used to.
