...On Android. I'm sure I don't have that problem on my Ubuntu Touch phone (if only because there are hardly any apps for it).

Interesting, how does Ubuntu Touch sandbox apps? Does it have one-time permissions (like Android)?

I actually don't know, I was just making a joke about the dearth of applications on UT. I'd expect it to have Snap-type sandboxing, but the Security and Privacy section of the settings app doesn't tell me much.
