There shouldn't really be much you would really need to know about ABD permissions or anything complicated for regular use . I used to always root my phones but it hasn't really been needed in recent years with android. Is there anything specific you are worried about needing your phone to do ?
Not really anything specific that I’m worried about, it’s more just that I don’t know enough right now to have informed opinions on whether I should do things like give an app ABD permissions, other than that I’m planning to not root or expose other lower level permissions until I understand more. Your answer actually really helps, because I can categorize ABD permissions in that bucket. Thanks!
I've never had an app ask ABD permissions. The only time I've ever done anything involving ABD it was when rooting a phonem , and android has come a long way so I don't really feel the need to root anymore . So I wouldn't really worry about it myself. I do recommend using nova launcher to replace your home screen if you like customization. Other than that you can find an app to do anything without any special permissions other than ad blockers .
