Disable All sensor Permissions

Iamrmz

Hey guys there is an option to disable for all apps sensors permissions without disabling them one by one ?

Iamrmz nope not via first party methods! You could try third party methods like appops but that may ask for root and/or shizuku

Iamrmz There's a toggle in the Developer options but it is not intended for regular users. Please do not touch it as it's primarily for app and operating system development.

As stated in the below link, in standard Android environments, this permission to toggle sensors per-app does not exist. By default, apps are assumed to need sensor access. GrapheneOS introduced the 'Sensors permission' as a per-app toggle, a unique addition. This method is designed to prevent unintended disruptions in app functionality. It's important to note that disabling sensors globally might interfere with the operation of some system applications.

The GrapheneOS developers provided thorough and in depth information regarding Sensors in this discussion as well: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/6310-why-so-many-apps-need-sensor-access

ErnestThornhill To be honest, I find it incredibly ironic and extremely questionable that this is enabled by default. While running GoS, I made sure to have it set to deny sensor permission for every app installed. I never once encountered an issue unless the app specifically called for sensors, and it is usually an app that obviously would need it to function.
Contrary to belief the sensors toggle has nothing to do with just your rotation.
