<p>The standard INTERNET permission used as the basis for the Network
permission toggle is enhanced with a second layer of enforcement and proper
support for granting/revoking it on a per-profile basis.</p>
<p>To avoid breaking compatibility with Android apps, the added permission
toggle is enabled by default. However, the OS app installation UI has been
extended to show the toggle as part of the installation confirmation page so
users can disable it when installing an app. This will be extended to the app
repository client included in the OS in the future.</p>

<p>Sensors permission toggle: disallow access to all other sensors not covered
by existing Android permissions (Camera, Microphone, Body Sensors, Activity
Recognition) including an accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, barometer,
thermometer and any other sensors present on a given device. To avoid breaking
compatibility with Android apps, the added permission is enabled by

thermometer and any other sensors present on a given device. When access is
disabled, apps receive zeroed data when they check for sensor values and don't
receive events. GrapheneOS creates an easy to disable notification when apps
try to access sensors blocked by the permission being denied. This makes the
feature more usable since users can tell if the app is trying to access this
functionality.</p>
<p>To avoid breaking compatibility with Android apps, the added permission is
enabled by default. When an app attempts to access sensors and receives zeroed
data due to being denied, GrapheneOS creates a notification which can be
easily disabled. The Sensors permission can be set to be disabled by default
for user installed apps in Settings ➔ Privacy.</p>
