Naya app install karne se pehle ye permissions zaroor dekho

Seedha jawab2019 mein Avast ne Google Play ke 937 flashlight apps jaanche: average 25 permissions har app ne maangi, kuch ne 50 se 77 tak. 180 ne contacts aur 77 ne mic maangi — ek simple flashlight ke liye. Naya app install karte waqt dekho ki permission app ke kaam se match karti hai ya nahi. Shield naye app par nudge deta hai aur uska risk score (andaza) dikhata hai.
Allow, Allow, Allow — bina padhe
Naya app install karte waqt 3-4 popup aate hain, aur zyadatar log sab pe 'Allow' daba dete hain taaki app jaldi khul jaaye. Isi aadat ka fayda uthakar kai apps aisi permissions maang lete hain jo unke kaam se matlab hi nahi rakhtin.
937 flashlight apps ki jaanch
2019 mein Avast ke researcher Luis Corrons ne Google Play ke 937 flashlight apps check kiye — ek aisa app jiska kaam sirf camera ka flash chalu-band karna hai. Average har app ne 25 permissions maangi. 262 apps ne to 50 se 77 tak maangi.
| Permission | Kitne apps ne maangi |
|---|---|
| Contacts padhna | 180 |
| Audio record karna | 77 |
| Contacts likhna/badalna | 21 |
Camera permission alag baat hai — flash aksar camera API se hi chalta hai, to wo ek had tak samajh aata hai. Par ek flashlight ko contacts ya mic se kya kaam? Sirf 7 apps malicious nikle, zyadatar sirf ads dikhate the — par permission to unke paas rehti hai, aur agle update mein wo kaise use hoti hai ye koi nahi rokta.
3 permissions jo har baar dekho
- Contacts — social-sharing feature na ho to iski zaroorat kam hi apps ko hoti hai.
- Location — game ya calculator jaisi app ko iski koi wajah nahi honi chahiye.
- Camera/Mic — jab tak app photo, video ya calling se judi na ho, ye do sabse zyada soch-samajh kar dene chahiye.
Sawaal seedha hai: ye permission app ke kaam se match karti hai? Flashlight ko camera chahiye, contacts nahi. Photo editor ko camera chahiye, SMS padhna nahi. Jo match na kare, uspe ruk jao — turant 'Allow' mat dabao.
Shield isme kya karta hai
Naya app install hote hi Shield nudge deta hai aur uski permissions ka ek risk score dikhata hai — andaza hai, antivirus ka scan nahi. Ye tumhe sirf itna batata hai ki rukkar ek baar dekh lo, decide tum karte ho.
- Naya app install karo, Shield ka nudge aaye to risk score dekho.
- Permissions list mein wahi dekho jo app ke kaam se match na kare.
- Shaq ho to App Monitor se us app ki DNS queries bhi band kar sakte ho, uninstall kiye bina.
Aksar puchhe jaane wale sawaal
Kya sab flashlight apps kharab hain?
Nahi. Avast ki jaanch mein sirf 7 apps malicious nikle, baaki sirf ads dikhate the. Asli baat ye hai ki permission ek baar mil jaane ke baad, agle update mein wo kaise use hogi ye koi control nahi karta — isliye shuru mein hi kam permission wala app chunna behtar hai.
Camera permission dekh kar ghabrana chahiye?
Flashlight ke liye camera API se flash chalana aam tareeka hai, isliye akela camera permission bada danger signal nahi. Contacts, SMS ya mic jaisi permissions jo app ke kaam se bilkul match na karein, unpe zyada dhyaan do.
Shield ka risk score kaise banta hai?
App ki maangi hui permissions dekh kar ek andaza banta hai, jaise flashlight app ne contacts maangi to score badhega. Ye scan ya malware-check nahi hai, sirf permissions ka hisaab hai.
