How to Access Permission Settings

There are three ways to navigate to the permission manager. The first option is by going to the Advanced settings under Apps & notifications.

Get to Permissions Settings By Viewing All Apps

Another method is by going to your all apps page in settings.

How to View Special App Access

Android also has special app access settings. You’d rarely need to play around with these, and some are available in an app’s settings. These include Tap & pay (mobile payments) and Unrestricted data.

How to Limit Activity Tracking From Google

Google tracks a lot of your activity, some of it to provide you better service or suggestions based on places you’ve visited, websites you’ve navigated to, YouTube videos you’ve watched, as well as personalized ads. It’s easy to limit or turn off these permissions if you prefer. In the Activity Controls, you can also enable or disable Google’s ability to collect web and app activity, location history, and YouTube history.  For example, scroll down to Ad personalization and tap Go to Ad Settings to see an explanation of how Google personalizes ads, including personal information you’ve added to your Google account. You can also see which companies serve you ads based on website visits. To turn off this feature, tap the Ad personalization slider > Turn off.
