The access a platform has to a user's phone, camera, and contacts is generally referred to as permissions or app permissions. These are the explicit permissions that a mobile application must request from the user in order to access specific features or data on the device, such as:
- Camera access: To take photos or videos.
- Contacts access: To retrieve or interact with the user's contact list.
- Location access: To utilize GPS or other location services.
- Storage access: To read or write files on the device.
Users typically grant or deny these permissions when they first install an app or during runtime, depending on the operating system's privacy policies.
