TCL TAB 8" - Turn App Permissions On / Off

Here's how to turn permissions for installed apps on your TCL TAB 8 on or off.
  • Downloaded apps designed for Android™ 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 to access all apps.
  2. Navigate:
    Settings Settings icon
    Apps & notifications
    .
  3. Tap
    Advanced
    then tap
    Permission manager
    .
  4. Tap the appropriate permission type to modify (e.g., Body Sensors, Microphone, Location, etc.).
  5. From the selected permission, tap any of the available apps (e.g., Google Play Services, My Verizon, etc.) then perform the following:
    • To allow an app permission:
      1. From the 'Not allowed' section, tap an available permission (e.g., Contacts, Location, etc.).
      2. Tap the preferred option:
        Permissions vary by app.
        • Allow all the time.
        • Allow only while using this app.
        • Ask every time.
      3. Tap the
        Back icon
        Left arrow icon (upper-left) to return to App permissions.
    • To deny an app permission:
      1. From the 'Allowed' section, tap an available permission (e.g., Contacts, Location, etc.).
