App "Permissions" Resetting Automatically
4.5
You grant an app access to your camera or location, but it asks again a few days later.
Symptoms
- Repeated prompts
- Permissions lost
- Frustrating UX
Possible Causes
- Android "Auto-reset" feature
- App update
- System security policy
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Disable "Remove permissions if app is unused"
Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Toggle OFF "Remove permissions if app is unused".
2
Set to "Allow All the Time"
For location, ensure it isn't set to "Ask Every Time".
3
Check for System Updates
Sometimes this is a bug in the OS permission manager.
When to See a Technician
Modern Android versions automatically revoke permissions for apps you haven't opened in a while to protect your privacy.
