Third-party application control
About permissions for third-party applications
You can set permissions that control how third-party applications on your BlackBerry® device interact with the other applications on your
device. For example, you can control whether third-party applications can access data or the Internet, make calls, or use Bluetooth® connections.
If you have added third-party applications to your device, your device is designed to prevent these applications from sending or receiving data
without your knowledge. Before a third-party application sends or receives data, a dialog box prompts you to accept or deny the connection
request. For a selected application, you can turn off this prompt for a specific location or resource.
