Hello everyone, Why many of the android apps ask for permissions like they need to know about my location or any other personal information? Is it fine to give permissions about personal info to well-known companies? Can anyone tell me why they want our information?

Its normal thing,if you download something like maps it will ask for location access,if you download something like phone dialer it will ask you permission like contact etc.

Always download trusted app and don't give permission to untrusted applications.

If you've a smart phone you most likely need to download nav app for it. If you’re ever lost on the road, having navigation on your mobile means that you'll always retreat to on the correct track.
