Android has a built-in Privacy Dashboard that shows which apps have accessed sensitive permissions like location, contacts, and microphone in the past 24 hours, complete with timestamps. Found under Settings > Security & Privacy > Privacy Dashboard, it provides a more user-friendly view than the standard permission manager. The dashboard can reveal surprising apps accessing permissions unnecessarily — such as a banking app or call-screening app requesting location — allowing users to revoke unneeded access. It can be combined with battery usage stats and Google Play Protect scans for a more complete privacy audit.
