Controlling app permissions

When you use apps the first time, you'll be prompted to grant them permissions to access certain
data or features, such as your location, storage, or microphone. This gives you more control over
your apps.
§ If you suspect a certain app of being malicious or requesting unnecessary permissions, you
should choose Deny.
§ If you choose Deny in a trusted app, it might not work or have limited functionality. If this
happens, go to Settings to change the app permissions.
1. From the Home screen, tap Settings Apps & notifications.
2. Tap Advanced Permissions manager.
