However, some apps may obtain excessive permissions, posing potential risks to your
information privacy and security. You can check the permissions granted to each app and
deny those you deem unnecessary in system Settings.

For example, if a map app is granted the Location permission, it can provide you with
location and navigation services. You can revoke the permission if you do not need these
services.
