I wonder if this will change the current ToS for Facebook and regular IG
Is the app out already? Or is this just the App Privacy dashboard for Instagram??

On iOS at least, a lot of these (location, contact info, health & fitness, etc), you can deny access to via a popup prompt when the app tries to access them.
