Better Control for Your Phone

The Permissions Handling has never been a clear setting on an Android device for many users. Storage, camera, and location are handled differently in Android on newer systems than on older ones. Then, instead of granting all permissions at install time like before, Android now asks you to decide what each app can use. Some apps may require all permissions to work properly.
On newer Android systems, you might see an option to allow management of all files and Android 11 permissions when an app needs unrestricted access to files. These settings balance privacy and control, but can confuse users who want apps to run smoothly.
This guide explains how to grant the necessary permissions to apps and clearly outlines Android’s permission model.

Part 1. How to Allow All Permissions on Android
Allowing all permissions on Android helps to access everything. Here are the ways to do it:
Option 1: Adjusting Permissions by App
Here is a guide to grant all permissions on Android for some apps. This is a simple way to manage such permissions and control what your apps can access.
Step 1: Open Settings on your Android device, then select Apps & Notifications. This option might appear as just Apps on some Android devices.
Step 2: Choose the application whose permissions you wish to modify. This will display a list of all apps installed on your device. To change one, tap on it.
Step 3: After this, in the app’s settings scroll list, tap Permissions. This will show you a list of permissions that the app currently has access to (camera, location, or storage).

Step 4: Find the permission you wish to change. For example, to prevent the app from accessing your location, tap on Location. You'll then see options to adjust that permission for that particular feature.
Step 5: Based on the permission, you can either provide unlimited or only limited access to it—give access all the time, give access while using the app, always ask for permission before accessing, or fully deny access.
Step 6: After making your changes, the application will have new permissions that you allowed. This puts you in full control of what data and features apps have access to.
Option 2: The Permission Manager For More Control
A detailed way to allow all permissions on Android: You can manage your app launch permissions using the permission manager. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: On your Android device, open Settings, then Apps.
Step 2: In the Apps menu, open the Options Menu.
Step 3: Choose Permission Manager from the list. This should enable you to control what features and apps are permitted.
Step 4: There will be a long list of features, camera, location, storage, etc., select any feature that you want to check/change permissions on.

Step 5: To adjust access for a particular app, tap its name. If you want to change the location permission of the Galaxy Wearable app, for example, tap on it in the list.
Step 6: Now you have multiple options to modify the permission:
- Allow all the time: The app will tap into this data when it’s playing in the background.
- Allow only while using the app: It can access the data only when it’s open.
- Ask every time: The app will ask for your permission each time it needs access.
- Deny: This will prevent the app from accessing the feature completely.

Part 2. What is the Root Permissions Manager on My Android Phone?
A root permission manager is the app you use on a rooted Android device to manage the apps that have elevated or system-level access to your phone. On unrooted devices, apps cannot be granted access to system files. With this tool, you can allow all permissions on Android and fine-tune permissions for more in-depth functionality of your phone.
Here are the pros & cons of having a root permission manager on your Android phone:
Part 3. Remove Admin Permission from An App On Android (Bonus)
To revoke admin rights from an app on your Android system, head to Settings > Privacy Protection and tap Special Permissions. Select Device Admin Apps, then tap the app to revoke admin access. In addition, disabling administrator rights is a way to unlock the application from your device and to keep everything safe. Such apps may be hard to uninstall or can run with elevated privileges; so you gotta look for the emergency power button.
To revoke admin permissions for an app in Android:
Step 1: Just start by tapping the Settings app on your Android device. Scroll to the bottom and select Privacy Protection.
Step 2: Go to the Privacy Protection Menu and Scroll Further to Choose Protection. Then tap Special Permissions.
Step 3: Then select Device Admin Apps. This shows you a list of all apps with administrator access on your device.
Step 4: Now, select the app you want to remove admin rights for. Select Deactivate this device to remove its admin privilege. This action will revoke the elevated permissions that the app had over your device.

In some instances, these settings may be controlled externally by a company or enterprise. Under such circumstances, you may require specialized management tools to adjust admin rights or update permissions remotely.
By limiting admin rights to trusted apps only, you can better control Android app permissions and keep your device safe.
