Permissions
Some applications need to access parts of your phone to be able to work properly. For
example, a navigation application needs permissions to send and receive data traffic, and
access your location. Some applications might misuse their permissions by stealing or
deleting data, or reporting your location. Make sure you only install and give permissions
to applications you trust.
