How to Fix OnePlus 13 With App Permissions Resetting

App permissions on your OnePlus 13 help control what apps can access, like your camera, contacts, or location. But if these permissions keep resetting automatically, it can become frustrating. You may find that apps ask for permission every time you open them or suddenly lose access to features they need.

This problem is often caused by unused app management settings, battery optimizations, or system bugs. Here are several ways to fix it and stop app permissions from resetting on your OnePlus 13.

Why Your OnePlus 13 App Permissions Keep Resetting

• “Remove permissions if app is unused” is turned on.
• Battery optimization is restricting background activity.
• Recent software update introduced a system glitch.
• App data corruption or improper settings configuration.

Turn Off Auto Permission Reset.

OnePlus includes a feature that automatically removes app permissions for unused apps. While useful for privacy, it can cause problems for apps you use occasionally.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
2. Tap App management, and then choose an app that keeps losing its permissions.

Scroll down and look for “Remove permissions if app is unused.” Toggle it off to prevent the system from revoking that app’s permissions.

Disable Battery Optimization for Important Apps.

Battery optimization limits app activity in the background. This can indirectly cause permissions to reset when the app is forced to close repeatedly.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
2. Tap Battery optimization, and then select the app that keeps losing permissions.

Change the setting to Don’t optimize. This ensures the app remains active and its permissions are retained.

Clear Cache and Data of Affected Apps.

Sometimes, corrupted cache or data files can cause app permission issues. Clearing them helps reset the app’s behavior without uninstalling it.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
2. Tap App management, and then choose the affected app.

Tap Storage usage, and then tap Clear cache followed by Clear storage. Reopen the app and grant the permissions again.

Update OxygenOS and Apps.

System or app bugs can also lead to repeated permission resets. Installing the latest updates usually fixes these problems.

1. Open Settings, and then tap About device.
2. Tap OxygenOS, and then check for available updates.

Also open the Play Store, tap your profile icon, and update all apps to their latest versions.

Reset All App Preferences.

If multiple apps are affected, resetting all app preferences can fix misconfigured settings that lead to permission issues.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
2. Tap App management, and then tap Reset app preferences.

Confirm the action. This will restore all permissions, notifications, and background restrictions to default without deleting app data.

Once these steps are complete, your OnePlus 13 should retain permissions correctly. Apps will continue to function normally without constantly asking for access again.
