I recently noticed something strange with my Samsung device. I tried to restrict the Samsung Messaging app because I didn't want it to be intrusive.
Revoked all unnecessary permissions (media, storage, etc.) and kept only the essentials.
Turned off notifications to avoid disturbances.
However, after some time, I noticed that:
The app automatically restores all the permissions I had removed.
Notifications also turn back on by themselves.
Even after manually revoking permissions, the app seems to regain them automatically.
I find this concerning because I want more control over which apps can access my storage and send notifications. Is this normal behavior for Samsung system apps, or is there a bug? Is there a way to permanently prevent Samsung Messaging from regaining these permissions and notifications
