Permission Section:
In the meantime, Google has decided to roll back the app permissions section on Play Store and this version. The latest APK could be for that, as the company has decided to send the last version back to Android users.
Google Play Store showcases the app’s required permission on the app’s listing page. For instance, If an app requests the use of high-risk or sensitive permissions (for example, SMS or Call Log), the developer has to complete the Permissions Declaration Form and receive approval from Google Play.
“Privacy and transparency are core values in the Android community. We heard your feedback that you find the app permissions section in Google Play useful, and we’ve decided to reinstate it. The app permissions section will be back shortly.”
These permissions are reflected on the Play Store listing and in the past week, Google has decided to put them away, after July 20 – the deadline for all of the app developers to declare their app’s permission usage.

“The Data safety section provides users with a simplified view of how an app collects, shares, & secures user data, but we also want to make app permissions information easily viewable for users to understand an app’s ability to access specific restricted data & actions too.” wrote the Android maker.
