It is a requirement of both Android and iOS app stores to have a policy prominently displayed for users.
This. Although I'm not sure if it's about in-app display, but it needs to be on the store and on a website somewhere.
It's Apple Review Guideline 5.1.1:
(i) Privacy Policies: All apps must include a link to their privacy policy in the App Store Connect metadata field and within the app in an easily accessible manner...
For Android it's in their User Data article:
Privacy Policy All apps must post a privacy policy link in the designated field within Play Console, and a privacy policy link or text within the app itself...
This is just talking about developers having to include a link to their privacy policy in the respective field in the App Store/Play Store
No. Read closely. Both require it to be in the app.
