Hello, I was wondering how to remove app permissions like photos media and files permission, because I accidentally granted those permissions to some apps and I want to revoke them.

After 15+ years, we've made a big change: Android Forums is now Early Bird Club. Learn more here.
Go into your application manager and scroll down to the app you want to remove the permissions from. Click on the app listed, click on permissions, and uncheck what you desire.
For example, my camera app:

Uhh, the whole point is that where is the permission for photos media and files, because I already know how to remove permissions.
Sorry if I misunderstood ya
So the app that you granted permissions for photos, media and files for, does not have the options listed?

Yeah, in settings it does not have an option for photos media and files.

For that you would have to go to the actual application website..per say, if you gave permission to tinder to look into your pictures from fb..you have to go into fb website to reverse the privileges..
I hope that gives you some light.

They were just games though and I don't think they have a website.
That's kinda odd, since even for apps that pre-date the modern permissions system I can see and turn off the storage permission.
Won't be a popular suggestion if you've played a lot, but have you considered uninstalling the app and reinstalling, to force it to ask for the permission again? Of course it may simply need the permission in order to save your progress or something like that (does it have a directory you can see), and it may not work without the permission.

Oh is storage permission what that is? I thought storage permission was just so it could store it's own data...

Would the app even do anything with my files?
