Common instances when you need to manage app permissions are when app updates are available as well as when installing a new app on your phone.

Typically, apps that you’ve recently installed would ask permission to use your phone’s location. This is usually the case among location-based apps as they would need your current location information in order to work as intended. In cases like this, granting permission for those apps is recommended. There’s no need to worry though because you can always make necessary changes to the app permission and adjust the app level permissions accordingly.

  1. When I click on the app that I wish to deny access or ask every time, both would be Greyed out/unclikable, showcasing that allow has been selected but is Greyed out/unlikable. 90% of my apps have this issue (I am unable to choose to deny a permission).
    And what’s worse, and alarming, is when I go to click show system apps in upper right corner, more apps appear that have more permissions greyed out /unable to toggle off it on. Full network access, read&write sks, txts, calls, pair to Bluetooth, keep phone frok sleeping, full control of network, read & write on other devices, etc etc !:(
