This means that if the application has not been used even once within two months, then it will lose all permissions previously issued by the user. For example, to access the camera or internal storage. All notifications of this app will also be disabled. Finally, Android 12 will delete the temporary program data stored in the internal memory of the smartphone. In general, no mercy for unused applications in Android 12 – and this is a rather useful feature that will allow you to slightly secure your smartphone, as well as free up space in flash memory.
