No, it didn&#x27;t.  iOS originally gave apps access to just about everything except background execution without any warning.  At the time Android had the superior permissions model, with each app telling you what it needed at install and you being in control of whether or not you wanted to install it with that information.  Older iOS apps had access to your photos, your contacts, and other stuff and could use it with no warning to you.<p>As a result of early privacy breaches, later releases of iOS added per-function permissions on demand, leap-frogging Android in terms of permissions functionality.  Android has had some level of per-function permissions on demand in the works since Android 4.4 -- and you could use it in unofficial Android builds like CyanogenMod by turning off individual permissions for apps -- but the feature only finally made it into official builds in Android 6.0.  It also got it properly in the API and manifest of apps as well so they can ask permissions as they need them... like the Facebook app needing access to your photos when you select to attach a photo to a post.
