APK Permission Checker: What an App Can Reach
If an app file asks for permissions while it installs, tick them here to see what each could allow and which pairs are worst together. The Shree Win page we read is a web page with an Add to Desktop shortcut, and we saw no app file, so there is no Shree Win permission list to check.
The boxes above open on four ticked permissions: reading texts, notification access, accessibility and display over other apps. Together they rate Very wide reach. The checker reasons from what you tick and reads nothing from your phone or from any file.
Words on this screen
| Word | In plain words |
|---|---|
| Permission | A power an app asks your phone for, such as reading texts |
| Accessibility service | A tool made for people who find touchscreens hard. It reads the screen and taps for you |
| Overlay | Drawing on top of another app. The box is called Display over other apps |
| Reach | How far the ticked set goes: Narrow under 25 points, Wide 25 to 69, Very wide 70 or more |
What the Shree Win page asks of a phone
At the time of writing (8 October 2026), the Shree Win page was a web page that opens in a browser. It had no download icon at the top, and an “Add to Desktop” button that normally saves a shortcut to a web page. We did not tap it, so we cannot say what your phone will show. We saw no app file, which means no permission list of Shree Win’s exists for us to read. If a stranger offers you a file, tick what it asks for here.
The fifteen permissions, in five groups
| Group | Permissions (points) | What they let an app do |
|---|---|---|
| Reach your one-time codes | Read texts (30), Notification access (25) | See a bank or UPI code the moment it arrives |
| Control your phone | Accessibility (35), Display over other apps (20), Device administrator (25), Install unknown apps (20), VPN (15) | Tap for you, cover the screen, resist removal, bring in more apps, sit between you and the internet |
| Cost you money | Send texts (20) | Text from your number, at your cost |
| Copy your information | Contacts (8), Call history (12), Phone status (8), All files (12) | Read who you know and what you keep |
| See, hear and follow you | Camera (6), Microphone (8), Location (6) | Watch, listen and know where you are |
Reading a result
Under the boxes you get a rating, a count of how many ticked permissions a games app has no obvious need for, the pairs found, and plain steps. Read the count first. In the starting example it is 4 of 4: every ticked permission is a power that playing a game does not call for. A game is played with your own fingers on its own screen, and it can send you a code by text without holding the right to read your inbox.
The pairs that matter most
Twelve pairs and trios score extra, because two powers together do more than either alone. Five of them, heaviest first:
- Accessibility and overlay (30). A cover hides what the taps underneath are doing.
- Reading texts and accessibility (25). One sees the code and the other presses confirm.
- Texts and notifications (20). Two routes to the same code.
- Sending texts and contacts (20). A link can go to everyone you know, as you.
- Device administrator and accessibility (20). Hard to remove and able to tap away the warnings.
A score you can reproduce
Tick only reading texts and accessibility: 30 plus 35, plus 25 for the pair, is 90, Very wide reach. Tick only camera and location: 12, Narrow reach. All three of camera, microphone and location come to 30, with 10 of that from the trio: Wide reach.
On your own phone
Most are under Settings, Apps, the app, Permissions. The special ones sit elsewhere, such as Settings, Apps, Special app access, or Settings, Accessibility. If you already allowed one of the worst, switch it off, uninstall the app, check your bank and UPI history for payments you do not recognise, and change your passwords from another device. Call your bank first if money moved, then 1930, then report at cybercrime.gov.in.
The app and APK guide explains app files, the file fingerprint checker matches a file to a printed value, and the tools page lists the rest.
We saw no app file, only a web page. The button opens it in a new tab; read the address bar before you type.

Common questions
Why is Location marked “rarely” while reading texts is marked “no obvious need”?
The checker uses two levels. “No obvious need” means a games app has no reason for the power at all. “Rarely” covers camera, microphone, location and contacts, which a game might want for a feature you choose, such as a profile photo. For those, pick “Allow only while using the app” or “Ask every time”.
Why do some permissions send me to a Settings screen and not a pop-up?
Seven of the fifteen are switched on in a special Settings screen: notification access, accessibility, display over other apps, device administrator, install unknown apps, VPN and all files. Android does not let an app grant itself these. The app has to send you there and talk you into a switch, so a request like that is worth a pause.
How do I see which apps on my phone already hold Accessibility?
On many phones it is Settings, then Accessibility, then Installed apps. Menu names differ between phone makers and Android versions, so if you do not find it, search Settings for the permission’s name. Switch off any app there that you cannot say why it needs it.
Why does the starting example score 100 when its permissions add up to more?
The four ticked permissions carry 110 points between them and the five pairs they form add 115, which is 225. The score stops at 100. At 70 or more the checker says Very wide reach, so the cap loses nothing: the picture is already as bad as it gets.
If an app file asks for nothing risky, can I install it?
Not on that alone. The checker reasons from permissions only and cannot see an app’s code, so a short list is not proof of anything. Where the file came from, whether its maker printed a fingerprint and what the install checklist finds all count too.
Can a web page in my browser ask for permissions as well?
Yes. A page can ask for your location or to send notifications, and the browser shows a pop-up you can refuse. These are not the app permissions listed here. We did not tap Add to Desktop or open any permission pop-up on the Shree Win page, so we cannot say what your browser or phone will show you.
