How to block apps access my contacts, etc

[Andima]

Hi!
After i perform my phone "Privacy scanner" then i can identify my 17 apps can access my contacts, 10 can access my messages, so some apps really don't want that kind of things. So are there any free app for block these things?

Thanks!

This might help - though I think the feature may have been removed from more recent versions of Android

Xposed fraimwork, requires root
Xprivacy, is an xposed module.

It will let you spoof any an all data that any app asks fore on a by app, by permission basis.

You can allow it the Info or set it to send back random values for location, concats, imei, phone state, ect ect ect.

It's still there, just been hidden more deeply.

However, as of 4.4.2 you'd need root to use it.
