Does anybody find it annoying that when you download an app on android that you have no choice but to allow the app permission to access all it wants before it can be installed,

Does not seem to have all the same permissions on iPhone or am I missing something there?

Apple just don't tell you

Most of the permissions can be explained if you give it some thought. EG: Facebook Messenger wants access to your Microphone, your location and your camera, sounds scary until you realise..

Microphone - for voice calls
Camera - for video calls

I could then turn off the permissions on Apple,
Can't find where to do it yet on Droid, maybe it's just the version of Android I'm running at the minute,

Don't think you can in any version, accept it or don't install it. Not much to worry about unless it is a third party app and you have to allow it in security to install.
