Google, the internet and technology services company, announced that it is working on launching a new feature in Android 14 that allows users to manually withdraw permission for apps to display full-screen notifications.
Commencing with Android 14, the "USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT" permission utilized by apps to present full-screen notifications can be toggled on or off by users.
By deactivating this permission, apps should have more trouble showing intrusive full-screen pop-ups. While this permission is not the sole method apps employ to deliver full-screen ads, it is one avenue that can be exploited by ad providers.
Google even takes the measures one step further and says that starting sometime at the end of 2023, any newly installed app from the Play Store on Android 14 will have the permission disabled by default, except for apps that handle calls and alarms.
