Also, while some applications are more important than match-3 games and may not offer alternatives, there&#x27;s always the option to simply not install the app if it follows bad practices regarding permissions.<p>If I&#x27;m looking at a time-wasting game with plenty of alternatives out there, I just cancel the download&#x2F;install if it asks for some low level permission without a reasonable explanation of why it wants it.  And if it&#x27;s a &quot;good&quot; or otherwise valuable app, chances are the developer will explain why the permission is being requested.<p>There aren&#x27;t really any must-have mobile applications I&#x27;m aware of that request permissions that are both irrelevant to the function of the program and break the app if I deny access.
