On my iPhone the only permissions it has are to use my location while I'm using the app and to use cellular data.

It also has whatever random looking @privaterelay.appleid.com Apple made when I used "Sign in with Apple" to create my McD account.

Nice. I installed it on my Android, and permissions were such that I uninstalled it immediately.

As a footnote, I don't want apps knowing my location either.

What I'd most like is an Android phone which can decide when to give apps null / blank / fake information. My location should be north pole, with an error the size of the circumference of the earth. My contacts should be blank, as should my media. If the app wants to add contacts or media, they live in the app's silo.
