"Remove permissions if app is unused"

[PrashiPatel]

 Is there any option to disable "Remove permissions if app is unused" in one place so that it applies to all the apps? I use S20 FE 5g. Please someone explain the benefits and disadvantages of the same. Thank you

You are right. This is a very annoying"fearure". I have a number of apps that I don't use regularly, but when I need them they must work. I want to stop samsung from removing permissions for all aps. How do I do that without going through them one by one. Even doing that doest help. It seems things get changed back when there is an update

It's stuff like this that motivates me to root the phone and install an alternate ROM.

Unfortunately, this is not the solution we were hoping for. It is another dumb decision by the Android developers.  Just because I don't use an app for three months doesn't mean squat. I believe the users should be allowed to control this feature and turn it on or off for all apps at one time. The very reason most of us are on Android versus IOS is to have greater control over how our devices work.

I have the toggle for the feature turned off, and it still removes apps and permissions without my consent.  If the toggle feature does not work, as mine apparently does not, how do you keep this predatory behavior from continuing?  I don't want Samsung to remove app permissions and files because it screws things up big time, and I must reinstall apps continually.   It is extremely frustrating and maddening when I choose the option I want to utilize, and then Samsung decides I cannot make decisions for myself and supersedes me.  Help?

That does not work.

What's not working?

I'm also looking for a "one click" option to turn this feature off. Really inconvenient. (Tried the Google link, didn't help)

Yeah
