Know when the answer is no
Refuse an app’s request and keep the app.
When an app asks for your contacts, location or photos, no is an ordinary answer and the app keeps working.
Ask one question: does it need this to do what I opened it for?
Key points
- No is a complete answer, and the app carries on
- Anything refused can be allowed later, in Settings
What to remember
- A no is not permanent.
- No first. Yes stays available.
