Evaluating and Redefining Smartphone Permissions with Contextualized Justifications for
summary
Two online between-subject surveys with 581 participants use a hypothetical furniture MAR app and three permission labels (bare label, generic purpose text, contextualized justifications) and find the contextualized text increases users’ understanding and perceived informativeness, reduces privacy concerns, and indirectly raises willingness to grant access via those mediators. Recommendations include adding novel permissions like face and speech recognition, short explanations for sensors such as LiDAR, clearer denial outcomes and improved visuals (expandable text) to prevent permission fatigue.
