How to Check App Permissions on Android

Learn how to review the permissions an Android app can access and adjust permissions you do not need.

Why permissions matter

Apps may request access to information or hardware such as the camera, microphone, location or contacts. The permissions an app needs depend on its features.

Review permissions

Open Android Settings and look for Apps or App management, select the app, then find its Permissions section. The exact menu names can vary between Android versions and manufacturers.

Use least access when practical

If an app does not need a permission for a feature you use, you can consider denying it. Some app features may stop working when a required permission is disabled.
