❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What are app permissions?
Permissions are the authorizations an app asks for to access features or data on your device (for example, the camera, location, microphone, or contacts).
Why do apps request permissions?
To provide features and services that rely on those features or data (such as maps needing location or a camera app needing camera access). Only grant what you trust.
What is runtime permission and how does it work?
Many devices request dangerous permissions when you first use a feature, rather than at install time. You can grant, deny, or change these permissions later.
How can you manage or revoke app permissions?
Go to your device settings, find the app, then Permissions (or Privacy) to enable or disable individual permissions. You can revoke anything you don’t want.
