Application Settings - Sony Xperia XZs User Manual

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
1 To allow a permission, tap Allow.
2
When the confirm dialog appears for the second time, you can choose the Don't
ask again option if you wish.
3
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
• To deny a permission, tap Deny when the dialog is shown.
Some applications can still be used even if you have denied permissions.
Critical permissions
Some permissions are mandatory for apps to work as intended. In such cases, a dialog
will inform you.

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 realize 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.
