Permission is not a blank check

The digital workshop gets a calculator. Nina decides which doors it really needs to open.

Learning paths7 min

Let's discover together

  1. 1

    A permission grants access to something: camera, files or contacts. Match each request to the feature you intend to use.

  2. 2

    To add typed numbers, a simple calculator does not need your contacts. You can decline and review permissions in settings.

  3. 3

    Updates can fix security flaws. Install through the system, store or official site; alarming ads are not an update source.

✦
YOUR MISSION

Match a permission to the calculator’s function and choose an official update source.

Now it's your turn

Discovery workshop

Permission is not a blank check

The calculator only adds typed numbers but requests contacts. Meanwhile, the system shows an update in settings and an ad promises an “urgent fix”.
Build your answers and check when you are ready.
A moment to understand

Which habit keeps access appropriate?

I need a hint

Needs change; permissions can change too.
