I have often wondered why Android don't categorise or have some mechanism to allow users revoke permission later. I have been a long time Android user but recently started using iPhone. I don't like iPhone for many reasons but then the control you have on turning on and turning off location, data connectivity, access to photos etc from one screen is really something you should have on all device. I felt the need of this, when Facebook asked for permission to read my messages.

This feature has been available on Android M for a while now. Sadly, the fragmentation of versions running on the Android platform is the biggest threat to its security.
