If your vivo X300 Pro keeps resetting app permissions, apps may suddenly lose access to the camera, microphone, location, or storage. You open the app again, and it asks for permission as if it was never granted. This usually happens because of system optimization features or privacy settings that automatically revoke unused permissions.
The good news is that you can stop this behavior with a few targeted adjustments.
Why Your vivo X300 Pro Keeps Resetting App Permissions
- Unused app permissions are being removed automatically.
- Battery optimization is restricting background access.
- A system cleanup or security feature revoked permissions.
- The app was updated and permissions were reset.
- Software glitches after a recent update.
Check If Unused App Permissions Are Being Removed
Some Android versions automatically remove permissions from apps you have not used in a while. This is a privacy feature, but it can be inconvenient if you regularly switch between apps.
Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
Tap App management, and then select the affected app.
Tap Permissions, and disable Remove permissions if app is unused if the option appears.
After disabling it, reopen the app and grant the permissions again. They should now stay enabled.
Disable Battery Optimization for the Affected App
Aggressive battery management can interfere with app permissions and background access. If the system restricts the app, it may behave as if permissions were removed.
Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
Tap Background power consumption management, and then select the affected app.
Choose Allow background activity, and set it to Unrestricted if available.
Restart the app afterward to test if the permissions remain active.
Turn Off iManager or Security Auto Cleanup
vivo devices include built-in management tools that optimize storage and memory. Sometimes these tools revoke permissions during automatic cleanups.
Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
Tap System apps, and then locate iManager or any security manager tool.
Open its permissions or optimization settings, and disable automatic restriction for the affected app.
Check again if permissions stay enabled after reopening the app.
Update the App and System Software
Permission bugs can sometimes be caused by outdated software. Keeping both the app and system updated ensures compatibility and stability.
Open Settings, and then tap System update.
Check for updates, and install any available version.
Next, open the App Store, and update the affected app if an update is available.
After updating, restart your device and test the app again.
Reset App Preferences
If permissions continue resetting, your system settings may be corrupted. Resetting app preferences restores default behaviors without deleting your data.
Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
Tap App management, and then tap the three-dot menu.
Select Reset app preferences, and confirm the action.
You will need to grant permissions again, but they should remain stable afterward.
App permissions on the vivo X300 Pro should not constantly reset. Once you disable automatic removal, adjust battery settings, and update your software, the issue usually stops completely.
FAQs
Why does Android remove app permissions automatically?
Newer Android versions include a privacy feature that removes permissions from apps that have not been used for several months. This is designed to protect your data but can be disabled for specific apps.
Will resetting app preferences delete my apps or data?
No. Resetting app preferences only restores default settings like permissions and notifications. It does not delete personal files or installed apps.
Can antivirus or security apps cause permissions to reset?
Yes. Some security tools automatically revoke permissions during scans or optimization processes. Adjusting their settings usually resolves the issue.
