"App permissions" refers to the privileges or access that a mobile application requests from users to perform certain functions or access specific information on their devices. It determines what the app can do and what information it can access on your device, like accessing your camera, contacts, location, or personal data. Granting
app permissions allows the app to function properly but you should be cautious and only give access to trusted apps to protect your privacy and security.
