Even if applications are granted this permission, if applications want to modify or delete media files, they also must get the access by calling MediaStore.createWriteRequest(ContentResolver, Collection), MediaStore.createDeleteRequest(ContentResolver, Collection), or MediaStore.createTrashRequest(ContentResolver, Collection, boolean).
This permission doesn’t give read or write access directly. It only prevents the user confirmation dialog for these requests.

Any app that declares the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is implicitly granted this permission.
This permission is enforced starting in API level 19. Before API level 19, this permission is not enforced and all apps still have access to read from external storage. You can test your app with the permission enforced by enabling Protect USB storage under Developer options in the Settings app on a device running Android 4.1 or higher.
Also starting in API level 19, this permission is not required to read/write files in your application-specific directories returned by Context.getExternalFilesDir(String) and Context.getExternalCacheDir().
This is a soft restricted permission which cannot be held by an app it its full form until the installer on record whitelists the permission. Specifically, if the permission is allowlisted the holder app can access external storage and the visual and aural media collections while if the permission is not allowlisted the holder app can only access to the visual and aural medial collections. Also the permission is immutably restricted meaning that the allowlist state can be specified only at install time and cannot change until the app is installed. For more details see PackageInstaller.SessionParams.setWhitelistedRestrictedPermissions(Set).
Protection level: dangerous
§Note
If both your minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion values are set to 3 or lower, the system implicitly grants your app this permission. If you don’t need this permission, be sure your targetSdkVersion is 4 or higher.

ReadMediaAudio
Allows an application to read audio files from external storage.
This permission is enforced starting in API level Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU. For apps with a targetSdkVersion of Build.VERSION_CODES.S or lower, this permission must not be used and the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission must be used instead.
Protection level: dangerous
ReadMediaImage
Allows an application to read image files from external storage.
This permission is enforced starting in API level Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU. For apps with a targetSdkVersion of Build.VERSION_CODES.S or lower, this permission must not be used and the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission must be used instead.
Protection level: dangerous
ReadMediaVideo
Allows an application to read audio files from external storage.
This permission is enforced starting in API level Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU. For apps with a targetSdkVersion of Build.VERSION_CODES.S or lower, this permission must not be used and the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission must be used instead.
Protection level: dangerous
ReadNearbyStreamingPolicy
Allows an application to read nearby streaming policy. The policy controls whether to allow the device to stream its notifications and apps to nearby devices. Applications that are not the device owner will need this permission to call DevicePolicyManager.getNearbyNotificationStreamingPolicy() or DevicePolicyManager.getNearbyAppStreamingPolicy().

Allows read access to the device’s phone number(s). This is a subset of the capabilities granted by READ_PHONE_STATE but is exposed to instant applications.
Protection level: dangerous
ReadPhoneState
Allows read only access to phone state, including the current cellular network information, the status of any ongoing calls, and a list of any PhoneAccounts registered on the device.
Protection level: dangerous

Reboot
Required to be able to reboot the device.
Not for use by third-party applications.
ReceiveBootCompleted
Allows an application to receive the Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don’t request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
Protection level: normal
ReceiveMms
Allows an application to monitor incoming MMS messages.
Protection level: dangerous
