Manage app permissions on Android 6 - Here's how
You can easily and conveniently manage the permissions for each app individually:
- A pop-up window signals when an app needs access to a certain function of your cell phone.
- Here you have the option to allow or deny one-time access.
- In the settings you can view and adjust the respective rights of the apps under "App permissions".
- Simply search for the app and tap on the name. You will then see which features the app claims.
- If you do not want this, you can simply tap the slider and the right will be withdrawn from the app.
- This setting is saved permanently by the app so that it is not asked for again.
- If you are not sure whether you can trust the app, you can find information about possible risks of the apps on our Best Apps portal.
- If in doubt, you should uninstall the Android app if you are not sure.
