I would love love love if my Android phone would occasionally provide me a summary of which apps are making use of the camera, the GPS, and the microphone and allow me to disable them.

Sure, I can hunt for this on my own. That's not the point here. If I'm walking around with a supercomputer in my pocket, I'd like it to do this sort of stuff for me automagically.

Settings -> Apps -> Gear icon in the top bar -> App permissions should do what you want (at least it does on 7.1.2 / Pixel).

Not obvious I know :/
