Application settings
Some apps will ask for permissions once you start using them. You can allow or
deny permissions individually for each app, either from the Settings menu or from
the Permission confirm dialog. Permission requirements depend on the app’s
design.
Allowing or denying permissions
You can choose whether to allow or deny permissions when the dialog is shown. If
you have used another Android version previously, most apps will have already
been granted the necessary permissions.
To allow a permission

To allow a permission, tap

When the confirm dialog appears for the second time, you can choose the
Don't ask again
option if you wish.

A dialog will also explain why the app needs the permissions and what it
uses them for specifically. To dismiss this dialog, tap
OK
.
To deny a permission

Allowing or denying automatic application updates
If the automatic update feature is enabled, your applications get updated without
you being asked, so you may not realise that large volumes of data are being
downloaded. In order to avoid potentially high data transfer costs, you can disable
automatic updates or enable automatic updates only over Wi-Fi connection. You
have to disable the automatic update feature both in the Play Store™ app and the
What's New app (where available) to avoid the automatic updating of apps.
