Change or manage your app permissions in Android 10 with Permission manager from Apps & permissions via Settings.

Although not much has changed in visual representation, Android 10 now gives a little extra in the privacy area with the ability to allow permission only when the application is in use. In previous versions of Android, the options were either Allow or Deny. With the recent option addition, users now have a little more say over when certain apps have permission to access their data and device systems.

In the following Visi article, we're going to cover how to access and change your device's application permissions. For this guide, we used a Google Pixel running Android 10.
