I am very happy to notice Android becoming more privacy centric. Notifications on the phone indicate permissions removed for apps not used for a few months.

For example, X App - Location permission was removed. Microphone and Camera permissions removed, etc., etc.,

This is also provides for proactive care by the user to remove any apps no longer used.

As a macbook user, I was curious to know if something similar exists on macbook/iOS to check on "every" app permission?

Also, is there a way on both systems and control via whitelist, blacklist particular sys calls on a per app basis?
