How to manage app permissions on your Android phone or tablet


It’s not hard to manage your Android phone’s permissions.

Your phone, your rules: Android gives you a pretty comprehensive toolkit when it comes to managing app permissions on your device, enabling you to control access to parts of the system like the camera, the microphone, and your current location. This lists the personal data that the app collects (such as your email address) as well as permissions that will be asked for (such as access to your contacts). A lot of apps will ask permission to show notifications, too, which means you’ve got to choose between yet more distractions on your device and the risk of missing something important.
