Allow or deny mobile applications some permission on your phone to help secure your device.
Applications depend on certain information from our phones to be able to perform as required.
App developers therefore make sure this required information from the phone is being accessed to allow operation as designed for.
During most mobile app installations, the user is being asked to allow certain features of the phone to be accessed by the application yet to be installed. This makes the app functional.
However, it is especially important for users to make sure that the permissions granted or yet to grant will be useful and not bring harm to the phone.
In this tech world, there are a lot of black hackers around, using any means to access vital information from us. For this tip, we will limit ourselves to mobile apps permissions.
Ensure that an image viewer app which does not depend on accessing your contacts to operate is not given that permission. Likewise, a camera app which does not depend on calls to operate must not be given that permission.
Day in day out we have new apps developed and published for our usage, some are from trusted sources others from unknown sources. And this makes it somehow impossible to know which app is harmful or not. However, one of the measures to prevent a harmful app from stealing our information is to check the permissions.
Below is a Step-by-Step method to accept or deny certain permission during app installation.
- CLICK ON APPS & NOTIFICATIONS IN YOUR SETTINGS
- SELECT PERMISSIONS
-
CHOOSE THE TYPE OF PERMISSION YOU WANT TO ALLOW OR DENY
