How To Use Permissions On Sony Xperia Tablet Z

Learn how to use Permissions on your Sony Xperia Tablet Z. Some applications may need to access data, settings, and various functions on your device in order to work properly.

Some applications might misuse their permissions by stealing or deleting data, or by reporting your location. Make sure you only install and give permissions to applications you trust.
