  • Users will be able to manually revoke that permission on Android 14 (already available in the current beta under Apps -> Special app access -> Full screen notifications);

  • Google Play will auto-revoke those permissions from newly installed apps unless they provide call or alarm functionality;

  • This permission will remain for apps that were installed before the Android 14 update.

Probably all apps that has some voip calling functionality.

Whatsapp, messenger, viber (is that still a thing?) and similar

Edit, just saw

Unless they provide call or alarm functionality

So they should be safe

Possibly some security related apps to auth for banking and stuff, not sure how they work behind the scenes.

Same goes for some 2FA apps i guess?

But they said unless they provide call functionality. So wouldn’t those VoIP apps not be affected?
