Here are three Android permission managers (any app I recommend will always
be free, ad free & gsf free, unless otherwise noted).

1. Simplest permission manager (listing permissions per app)
2. Next level of detail (listing permissions per permission types)
3. Further level of detail (listing everything, including app permissions)

1. PMX
<https://f-droid.org/de/packages/com.mirfatif.permissionmanagerx/>

2. Permission Manager
<https://github.com/YourStreet/android-permission-manager>
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.yourstreet.permissionmanager>
(I have this installed but I don't see an APK there anymore.)

3. Muntashirakon App Manager
<https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/AppManager/releases>

Any others?

What functions I thought of as only for a smartphone are able to be done
by modern flip phones.

For example, maps, business addresses, hours; webpages. Email is
probably irrelevant.

My good friend has a flip phone and his wife had a smart phone, and one
out of two I thought was sufficient. They did a lot of things, most of
their travelling together, so if a smart phone function were needed, she
could do it.

But his wife, age 75 or so, died a couple months ago and later I started
to try to convince him that he could benefit by switching to her phone.
But he listed a couple things, that I've managed to forget, that he said
he could already do and it sounded like even I would think that was
enough.

Sorry, this should have been it's own thread.
