Changing an app's permissions

When you open apps for the first time, you may be prompted to grant them permission to use various features of your phone, such as device location, camera, or microphone.

• If you suspect a certain app of being malicious or requesting unnecessary permissions, you should select Don't allow.
• If you chose not to grant permissions in a trusted app, the app might not work or have limited functionality. If this happens, you can go to Settings and change the app's permissions.

Here's how to change an app's permissions:

1. On the Home screen or Apps screen, press and hold an app, and then select App info.
2. Tap Permissions.

   Permission types that the app is allowed or not allowed to use will be displayed.

3. Tap a permission type. Then choose whether you want the app to use this permission.
