Permissions

Some applications need to access parts of your phone to be able to work properly.

For example, a navigation application needs permissions to send and receive data

traffic, and access your location. Some applications might misuse their permissions

by stealing or deleting data, or reporting your location. Make sure you only install and

give permissions to applications you trust.
