This is good advice. There are some apps like Facebook and Skype that need access to your microphone when you are doing a livestream, but when you're not, you can go into settings and withdraw permission. You just have to remember to turn it back on again when you are using it. A lot of kids apps use voice, so parents can manually allow and revoke permissions for these, too.

You are right. We just need to know what permission we are giving applications. Especially with kids some of the some of the smart toys can collect data and can be hacked.
You are so right about IoT (internet of things) toys. I won't allow them in the house unless I can find out how to change the security settings and passwords.
