Hi,
Everywhile my Android 12 phone runs a check, finds apps I have not used
in a few months, and removes permissions and temp files from them.
How can I disable this silliness?
Currently, I have to wait for it to "purify" an app, and disable
removing permissions and free space for that single app.
I want to disable this for ALL apps. I had some apps lost their
configuration because of this, and configuring them again is a pain.
Even if I disable this for an app, the warning pops up again, and I have
a growing list of apps in the list, many with the button disabled.

haven't noticed if there's a problem when I next want to use an
unpermissioned app.
What happens?

Depends on the app... on some, some settings are gone. If it is an app

that pushes notifications, say about some event that happens rarely, it
stops silently because it doesn't have permission for things it did.

Answer one is ridiculous, that's what we do not want to do.
«Go to app info on each of those apps > permissions > toggle "remove
permissions if not used" to OFF.»
Answer 2 is to disable play protect entirely. I do not want to do that.
So there is no way. There is a suggestion to use app ap PMX, but they
don't say what this app does exactly.

screen, you can:»
Well, that's not what we want. We want a global setting.

There seems to be none.
The revocation of permissions is a security and privacy feature.
Do it for the apps on an app by app basis which are important apps you
seldomly use. That won't be too many, I assume.
There is no other solution so far.

open/close of all the apps you care about.
I wonder if one of the automation apps could be set to launch a bunch
of apps at, say 4am on the first of every month.
