🔒 Protecting your privacy by restricting SMS access ensures that apps cannot read or send messages without your permission. Here’s how to prevent apps from accessing SMS on your Samsung A55.

Steps to Prevent App Access to SMS on Samsung A55
1️⃣ Disable SMS Access for a Specific App
Open Settings on your Samsung A55.
Tap Apps and select the app you want to restrict.
Tap Permissions and select SMS.
Choose Don’t allow to completely block the app from accessing your messages.
If the app previously had access, you may also see the option Ask every time to manually approve or deny requests in the future.
2️⃣ Manage SMS Permissions for Multiple Apps
Open Settings and tap Privacy.
Tap Permission Manager.
Select SMS from the list of permissions.
Review the list of apps with access and tap on each app to change its permission to Don’t allow.
3️⃣ Check for Hidden SMS Access
Some apps may have special access to SMS. To check this, open Settings, tap Apps, and then tap Special app access.
Look for Use SMS services or similar options and disable access for apps that should not have permission.
📌 Important Notes
✔️ Blocking SMS access may prevent some apps, like banking apps or authentication services, from verifying your phone number.
✔️ Be sure to only allow SMS access for trusted apps to protect your messages from unauthorized access.
✔️ If an app keeps requesting SMS access after denying it, consider uninstalling it or restricting background activity.

🔒 Now you know how to prevent apps from accessing SMS on your Samsung A55!
