What apps have done this to you? I've been pretty happy with Apple's ability to:
* Restrict permissions
* Prompt me with the ability to allow an app a permission forever, or just one time
* Have the OS prompt me later on about how often an app has been using my location, and ask if I want to modify my approval
I don't think I've run into many apps that have refused to work without something like locations services. If an app does do that, I simply uninstall it.
Their dashcams are optically fairly nice for the price, but their app is a monstrosity. It demands:
1) The ability to run unrestricted in the background, ignoring battery restrictions and autosuspend
2) Location access. Not "allow this time", it detects that, it wants perpetuity
3) Access to all phone storage. Not "allow this time", it detects that, it wants perpetuity.
If you refuse to grant any of these it will simply show you "the following permissions are required" and refuse to proceed. Do you simply want to have a live view from your dash cam to check the angle of its placement? Too bad. If you grant these permissions and later go back to settings and remove them, then the next time you start the app it happens all over again. It is an absolute abomination and I will never buy their products again.
Oh! I assumed your problem was with an Apple device; I haven't used Android in a long while, so I have no idea what the state of permissions is there.
But, like I said in my previous comment, I haven't seen this happen on my iPhone and I always deny location/bluetooth permissions unless there's a good reason for the app to have it.
That's an issue with how Android handles these permissions. Apple's system is much more fine grained, and my understanding is that it also has the requirement that the app must function without the user granting any additional permissions, even if the functionality is limited/restricted. e.g. if you have an app that wants to scan for local wifi networks (eg, sonos) and you don't grant that permission, the rest of the app still has to work even though you now can't set up new speakers.
