    Notifications and Alerts

                      This permission allows apps to send reminders, updates and alerts on your screen.
                      It helps users stay informed, but excessive notifications can become distracting. You
                      can control notification settings at any time. For example, WhatsApp and Gmail use
                      notifications to keep users updated.

                                        “Some apps misuse these permissions to collect personal data

                                         and send it to advertisers or other companies. So, think before
                                                                    you tap ‘Allow’.”

                      to say no to unnecessary permissions can help protect your privacy and ensure
                      your data stays secure.
