Here are some general guidelines for managing app permissions:
- Location Services:
- Only allow while using for navigation apps
- Never allow for apps that don't need it
- Camera/Microphone:
- Only allow for communication apps
- Review carefully for social media apps
- Photos:
- Consider "Select Photos" instead of full access
- Only grant access to apps you trust
- Contacts:
- Be very selective about this permission
- Question why an app needs contact access
Regularly review permissions in Settings > Privacy to revoke unnecessary access.
