Application settings

Some apps will ask for permissions once you start using them. You can allow or
deny permissions individually for each app, either from the Settings menu or from
the Permission confirm dialog. Permission requirements depend on the app's
design.
Allowing or denying permissions
You can choose whether to allow or deny permissions when the dialog is shown. If
you have used another Android version previously, most apps will have already
been granted the necessary permissions.
To allow a permission
To allow a permission, tap ALLOW. You can mark the Don't ask again checkbox if
you wish. To allow a permission, tap Always allow.
To deny a permission
To deny a permission, tap DENY when the dialog is shown.
Hint
Some applications can still be used even if you have denied permissions.
Critical permissions
Some permissions are mandatory for apps to work as intended. In such cases, a
dialog will inform you.

1
Find and tap Settings > Apps & notifications.
2

To allow critical permissions

Allowing or denying automatic application updates
If the automatic update feature is enabled, your applications get updated without
you being asked, so you may not realize that large volumes of data are being
downloaded. In order to avoid potentially high data transfer costs, you can disable
automatic updates or enable automatic updates only over Wi-Fi connection. You
have to disable the automatic update feature in the Play Store app to avoid the
automatic updating of apps.
To enable or disable automatic updates for all applications in the Play Store
