One of the permissions I'm really reluctant to grant is "run at startup". As far as I know, that's granted at install time, not prompted for, and there's no way to disallow it. Is there now going to be no way to know if I'm granting that or not?

What's wrong with run at startup?
My calculator doesn't need to run at startup. There's nothing useful it could do in that situation, the only possible reason is to download ads, track me, or just pointlessly waste battery.

Ditto for a wide range of apps. Pretty much everything that isn't a messaging app.

Exactly. Tracking me, wasting my resources, etc.
