Yes. Plus these are not even ridiculous steps, not for capturing the screen.

The bigger issue is users being spammed permission requests in broad categories that you cant deny. Like a headphones needing contacts permission.

Why would headphones need contacts permissions? Where are you getting these headphones from?

I routinely deny permissions to most apps on Android, and never have any issues. In my years of using random apps, the only app I'm aware of, which doesn't work without permissions, is Capital One banking app, which refuses to work unless it gets the phone permission. So, I just 1-star Capital One in the Play Store, uninstall as defective, and move on.

BTW, where are the permission screens on iOS? Or is the blissful ignorance more secure than being able to click "deny" a few times?
