Google has announced to change this system on its Play Store from May 5. In an update, Google has said that app developers will have to provide a solid reason for why the tech giant should let them access other apps on users’ smartphones, reports arstechnica. Currently, Android 11 apps that request the “Query_All_Packages” permission can see the full list of apps you have stored on your device.
