XPrivacyLua: Enhanced Privacy Controls

Open source Android app providing granular control over app permissions, ensuring enhanced privacy and security for users.

What is XPrivacyLua?

XPrivacyLua is an open source privacy manager app for Android that gives users enhanced control over app permissions. It works by intercepting permission requests from other apps and allowing the user to deny or fake the information accessed.

For example, XPrivacyLua can prevent an app from accessing location data, contacts, calendar information, camera and more. It has granular controls, so you can disable specific permissions within an app instead of just globally blocking it.

Some key features include:

  • Fine-grained control over app permissions
  • Ability to fake permission data like location and contacts
  • Open source code that is regularly updated
  • Easy to use privacy management interface
  • Configure different profiles with custom permission settings
  • Works across Android versions and rooted / non-rooted devices

XPrivacyLua is a fork of the discontinued XPrivacy app by M66B. It offers an enhanced user interface and expanded compatibility while building on the solid privacy protection foundations of XPrivacy.
