Default behavior
One default reduces random prompts

Permissions posture
Prefer “while in use” over “always”
When you grant broad access, you are committing to remembering why you did it. Narrow access reduces that mental load.
- Change one permission only, then stop.
- Test the app immediately after the change.
- If something breaks, revert the last change and note it.
Attention
Make notifications quiet by default
Most apps are informational, not urgent. Quiet them and let only a few interrupt you. Your phone becomes calmer without losing usefulness.
