When you open apps the first time, you'll be prompted to grant them permissions to access certain data or features, such as contacts or the microphone.
This gives you more control over which apps have authorized access.
- If you suspect a certain app of being malicious or requesting unnecessary permissions, you should choose Deny to protect your phone.
- If you choose Deny in a trusted app, you may not be able to use the app or access its full functionality. When this happens, go to Settings to change the app permissions.
-
From the
Home screen, tap
, and then find and tap
Settings.
-
Tap Apps.
-
Tap the app you want to configure, and then tap Permissions.
- Choose which permissions you want to turn on.
