Samsung Galaxy Note8 - Turn App Permissions On / Off

Here's how to turn app permissions for your Galaxy Note8 on or off.
App permissions give you the ability to customize and control which capabilities you give apps. You can pick and choose which permissions to grant apps at the time of use.
  • Downloaded apps designed for Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and up only ask for permission the first time you use a feature rather than asking for permissions out of context.
  • Turning off certain permissions may result in basic features no longer working as intended.
  1. From a Home screen, swipe up or down from the center of the display to access the apps screen.
    These instructions only apply to Standard mode and the default Home screen layout.
  2. Navigate:
    Settings Settings icon
    Apps
    .
  3. Ensure All apps is selected (upper-left).
    If necessary, tap the
    Dropdown icon Dropdown icon
    (upper-right) then select
    All apps
    .
  4. Locate then select the appropriate app.
    If system apps aren't visible, tap the
    Menu icon Menu
    Show system apps
    .
  5. If available, tap
    Permissions
     (App settings section).
  6. Select available permissions (e.g., Camera, Contacts, Location, etc.) to turn on Switch on or off Switch off.
    If prompted, review the message then tap CANCEL or DENY.
