🔒 Protecting your privacy by restricting apps from reading instant messages ensures that no unauthorized apps can access your SMS or notifications. Here’s how to prevent apps from reading instant messages on your Samsung A55.

Steps to Prevent Apps from Reading Instant Messages on Samsung A55
1️⃣ Disable Instant Message Reading 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 or Notifications Access, depending on the app's permissions.
Choose Don’t allow to completely block the app from reading your instant messages.
If the app previously had access, you may also see the option Ask every time, which will prompt you before granting access in the future.
2️⃣ Manage Instant Message Reading Permissions for Multiple Apps
Open Settings and tap Privacy.
Tap Permission Manager.
Select SMS or Notifications Access from the list of permissions.
Review the apps with access and tap on each app to change its permission to Don’t allow.
3️⃣ Check for Hidden Access to Messages
Some apps may have access to instant messages through Accessibility settings. To check this, open Settings, tap Accessibility, and review which apps have access.
Also, check Special app access in Settings under Apps to see if any apps have hidden message access.
📌 Important Notes
✔️ Blocking instant message reading may prevent some apps, like voice assistants or chat backup services, from functioning correctly.
✔️ Only trusted apps should have access to your messages to prevent unauthorized data collection.
✔️ If an app continues requesting access after denying it, consider uninstalling it or restricting its background activity.

🔒 Now you know how to prevent apps from reading instant messages on your Samsung A55!
