There are quite a few apps out there that request too many permissions during install time, most of them seem highly dubious. I tend to disable permissions I feel unlikely to be used and for the most part I get it right.



Can an update to said app reinstate its "factory" permissions that I've disabled? (an update might be from Play Store or APK)



This is about protecting privacy, which, I feel, is increasingly difficult these days.

          Cases that doesn't affect your current permissions:



          1. Updating app from play store.(also maybe the same for apk install too)


          2. When you disable/enable any app.


          3. When you clear only app cache.


          4. When you force stop and restart.


          5. During uninstall updates of an app. (This action is performed automatically when you disable that app).


          Cases that may reset your current permissions:



          1. When you clear Data and Cache.


          2. During reinstall.


          3. After factory reset.


          Note: The app developer/company can add more permissions while releasing a new update to a currently running app with specific permissions.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections.

Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
