Phone "App Permissions" Resetting Automatically
4.5
Apps keep asking for camera or location access even though you already granted it.
Symptoms
- Repeated prompts
- Permissions revoked
- App functionality broken
Possible Causes
- "Remove permissions if app is unused" feature
- System update
- Security app interference
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Disable "Auto-revoke"
Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Permissions > Turn OFF "Remove permissions if app is unused".
2
Check Security Apps
Ensure apps like Lookout or McAfee aren't "cleaning" your permissions.
3
Reset All Permissions
Settings > Apps > Reset app preferences (forces a clean slate).
When to See a Technician
Android 11+ automatically revokes permissions for apps you haven't opened in a few months.
