If permission settings for apps won't turn off, it's likely due to device restrictions or a software glitch. Firstly, check if Parental Controls or any security software is active; these can prevent changes. If that’s not the case, try restarting your device to resolve temporary software issues. Should the problem persist, updating your device's software or performing a factory reset (after backing up data) could help. Always ensure apps have only necessary permissions for security and privacy.
