Privacy Scanner: Permissions

Zavi Studio

About this app

Which of your apps can see your location, open your camera or read your notifications? Privacy Scanner checks every installed app and shows you, in plain language, in seconds. The scan runs on your phone: no account, no sign-up, and your results never leave your device.

PRIVACY SCORE AND CHECKUP
- One privacy score for your whole phone, from 0 to 100
- Privacy Checkup lists the riskiest things first and shows how many points each fix is worth
- "Fix in Settings" opens the exact Android screen where you can turn the access off
- Mark items as reviewed so the list only shows what still needs your attention

FIND HIDDEN TRACKERS
- See which advertising, analytics and crash-reporting SDKs an app contains (Google AdMob, Firebase, Meta, AppLovin and 30+ more)
- Detected directly from the app's code on your phone. Nothing is uploaded or looked up online

APPS YOU FORGOT ABOUT
- Spot apps you haven't opened in a month that still hold your location, camera, microphone or other sensitive access
- Open the app's settings in one tap to remove its access or uninstall it

PHONE SECURITY CHECKS
- No screen lock, USB debugging left on, or an outdated security patch? Privacy Scanner flags it and takes you to the right setting

KNOW WHEN SOMETHING CHANGES
- Get notified when a new app is installed
- Change history shows when an app gained or lost a permission, and when apps were installed, updated or removed

EVERY PERMISSION, EXPLAINED
- Camera, microphone, location, contacts, SMS, call logs, storage and more
- Special access that ordinary permission lists miss: Accessibility services, Notification access and Device admin apps
- Risk level for every app (Low, Medium, High, Critical) and a short explanation of why it matters
- Search, filter by permission or risk, and sort by risk, name, install date or number of permissions

EXPORT YOUR REPORT
- Export a full report as a spreadsheet (CSV) or JSON, or share a quick summary

BUILT FOR PRIVACY
- Your scan results, history and reports are stored only on your phone
- No account and no sign-in
- Privacy Scanner does not use Accessibility services and cannot read your messages, photos or files

WHY PRIVACY SCANNER NEEDS THESE PERMISSIONS
- See installed apps (QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES): needed to list and check every app on your phone. This is the core function of the app.
- Usage access (optional): only used to show screen time and find apps you no longer use. You can skip it.
- Notifications (optional): only used to tell you when a new app is installed.

Android does not let any app turn off another app's permissions directly. Privacy Scanner shows you exactly what to change and opens the right screen, so you stay in control.

Privacy Scanner is free and supported by ads.
