I'd like to see Android implement equivalent versions of these permissions to what GrapheneOS offers. GrapheneOS has already developed and tested the permissions; Google just needs to copy them. The stock OS pre-installed on an Android phone suffers from a similar problem as iOS on an iPhone in that Google Play Services are [highly privileged](https://developers.google.com/android/guides/permissions#:~:text=Google%20Play%20services%20automatically%20obtains%20all%20permissions%20it%20needs%20to%20support%20its%20APIs.) in the OS. GrapheneOS's [sandboxed Google Play Services](https://grapheneos.org/features#sandboxed-google-play) provides to option to install it inside the standard app sandbox, preventing it from having any access outside what a normal app would have. This is a massive boost in security and privacy and is how Google Play Services should operate by default.
