  THIS IS HOW GOOGLE IS GOING TO PROTECT YOUR ANDROID DEVICE To protect older Android phones from malware and malicious trackers, Google introduced privacy features for older Android phones. With the release of Android 11, Google introduced the auto reset permission. What's special about this feature is that it prevents the app from accessing the memory, microphone, camera and other sensitive functions because the app has not been used for a long time.                        Android 11 requires you to grant access to your app data if it hasn't been opened for a long time.
