• Users will be able to manually revoke that permission on Android 14 (already available in the current beta under Apps -> Special app access -> Full screen notifications);

  • Google Play will auto-revoke those permissions from newly installed apps unless they provide call or alarm functionality;

  • This permission will remain for apps that were installed before the Android 14 update.

      Its permissions for fullscreen notifications, i dont think many apps send ads that way. They can just show them fullscreen when your using the app.

        Some apps already display ads as notifications I think? Won’t be crazy to imagine that there might be apps who’d do that using this fullscreen intent to show you a fullscreen ad even when your phone is locked, as if you had received a call. But again I’m probably outdated on this and just speculating, haven’t had a single app displaying ads since a very long time.
