To function properly, some applications that we download from Play Store they ask us for permission to access our contacts, Location, camera, microphone, among other functions that our phone has.
The problem is that some, especially those developed by little-known companies, ask for too many accesses. This raises many suspicions and it is best to avoid installing them on the cell phone.
For example, if you install an application like Pokémon GO It is necessary to provide access to the camera and location of your smartphone, since this way you can enjoy augmented reality and see the pokémon in the real world.
However, there are some apps (or games) that would not have to ask you to access your camera, location, among other functions. You have to be quite careful with them.
How to identify the applications?
If you installed a lot of applications on your mobile device and you don’t remember what accesses you provided, don’t worry. Next, we will show you the steps so that you can identify them.
1. First go to Settings from your Android phone.
2. Go down until you find a section called Privacy.
3. Several options will appear, one of them is Permission manager.
4. After pressing this option, you will have entered the Permission manager.
5. There you can see which applications have access to your location. It can be all the time or only when you are using them.
That would be all. In the permission manager you can also see which apps can access your contacts, camera, microphone, among other functions of your team Android.
