Hi all, Was recently just looking at Google Play Store on my Android phone, and came across the above notification. What exactly are the consequences of 'removing permissions from unused apps' ? What does it mean exactly? Thank you.

Ok thank you.
So if you regularly use a particular app, you will continue to allow those certain permissions until such time as you decline permissions for the app in question?

Even if it removes them, the next time you go to use the app it will ask for the permissions again.
