App permissions
When downloading an app from Google Play, specify the functions and data to which this app
has access, e.g. to contacts or your location.
You can check and change permissions for apps on your smartphone. With App permissions
management, you have quick access to all permissions granted to apps on your smartphone.
Permissions when installing apps
