Most people install an app, tap "Allow" on the permission prompt, and move on. But do you actually know which of your installed apps can access your microphone right now? Your camera? Your exact GPS location — even in the background?
Permission Inspector answers that question in seconds.
🔍 What Permission Inspector Does
Permission Inspector scans every app installed on your device and shows you what permissions each one has declared — in plain language, not Android's internal permission strings.
- App list sorted by risk — high-risk apps appear at the top so you see the worst offenders first
- Plain-language descriptions — "Can record audio" instead of android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO
- Risk ratings — each permission is color-coded: green (safe), orange (medium), red (high risk)
- Search — find any app instantly by name
- Tap to open settings — one tap takes you straight to that app's Android permission settings
🔴 Why Risk Ratings Change the Way You Think About Apps
Not all permissions are equal. An app that wants "Exact alarms" is very different from one that wants "Access background location" or "Read SMS." Permission Inspector color-codes every permission so you can spot the ones that actually matter — without needing to know what any Android permission string means.
📍 Device-Wide Shortcuts
At the bottom of the app, three quick buttons let you see every app that has access to your Microphone, Camera, or Location — device-wide — in one tap. No hunting through Android settings menus.
