🔑 Concerned about privacy? Your Samsung Galaxy A55 allows you to share contacts with third-party apps, but you can disable this feature to prevent apps from accessing your contact information. Follow this guide to turn off third-party contact sharing for better privacy.

Steps to Turn Off Third-Party Contact Sharing on Samsung Galaxy A55:
1. Open the Contacts App
✔ On your Samsung Galaxy A55, open the Contacts app.

2. Access Contacts Settings
✔ Tap the Menu (three dots) in the top-right corner.
✔ Select Settings from the dropdown menu.

3. Disable Third-Party Sharing
✔ Scroll down and find Share with third-party apps (or similar option like Third-party sharing).
✔ Toggle the switch OFF to disable sharing.

4. Confirm Changes
✔ A pop-up may appear asking you to confirm—tap Turn Off or OK.

Alternative Method: Restrict App Permissions
If some third-party apps still access your contacts, you can manually disable their permissions:
✔ Go to Settings → Apps.
✔ Select the app you want to restrict (e.g., WhatsApp, Facebook, etc.).
✔ Tap Permissions → Contacts → Choose Deny or Don’t allow.

Important Notes:
✅ Better Privacy Control: Disabling this setting prevents apps from automatically accessing your contact list.
✅ Some Apps May Require Access: Messaging and calling apps like WhatsApp may need contact access to function properly.
✅ Can Be Re-enabled Anytime: If needed, you can turn this feature back on following the same steps.

🔑 Now third-party contact sharing is turned off on your Samsung Galaxy A55, enhancing your privacy and security!
