Absolutely, permissions should be disabled by default, and only when the app needs to do something that requires a certain permission should it ask for it.
Maybe even do something like Android, where permissions automatically get revoked if you don’t use an app for a certain time. I love that feature.
I think it’s enabled by default, but you can also just disable it for specific apps.
But if you leave it enabled and permissions get revoked after a while, you’ll get a notification telling you about it. I think that’s fair.
There’s always going to be a debate on whether something like this should be opt-in or opt-out, but for the purpose of privacy and data security, it makes sense to be on by default, I reckon.

It’s the first time I hear someone praise Android messing with user’s settings. Care to elaborate why you like it?
There is very little reason any app should keep its permissions if you never actually use it, is there?
Especially when most people use apps that phone home every last piece of data they give them access to.
I don’t agree but I see your point, that would certainly be useful to some people. Thank you for explaining.
