I\'m excited about this one. I\'m always complaining about how \"people
are stupid\" but also how \"devs could do more to alert users on how
their info is used\". Recently the Apple has made a change that puts the
details about your data front and center. Now before we talk about
things in depth I want to say Android has always had this but you have
to click on a link. I think the way apple does things is way better. So
let\'s take a look.
### Apple
As you can see in the image apple gives 3 big cards breaking down how
data is linked to you. Because I just side-eyed clubhouse we will use
them in this example. Front and center you can see that the get your
contacts, how you use the app, contact info, and identifiers. You can
click into that square to see more details if you want and I highly
suggest it.

### Google
So like I said Google\'s permissions are bit more hidden but you can
still find them. In the developer details there is a \"permissions\"
header. You want to click \"see details. I\'ll use facebook as an
example here. as you can see you get a little popup to scroll through
the links.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want Google to make a change to also show this information front in
center. People are always the weakest link when it comes to security.
The only way I see to make people look at the data they are giving away
is to put it front and center.
One day there will be a point where people can\'t use the \"we didn\'t
know\" excuse. Stop not knowing. Force these apps (and their app stores)
to tell you up front before you download these apps.
P.S. Seems like Apple has changed the store view a bit. So to keep with
my normal perception, they are cowards. lol
