Many apps require access to Files app on your iPhone. With complete access to the stock file manager, it becomes easier to manage all the related files and folders. But what if you no longer want an app to have the permission to control your file manager due to privacy concern or any other personal reason. Bother not, there is a quick way to revoke app’s permission to Files app. Let me show you how you can manage Files access to apps in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14.
The ability to control apps’ permission of files and folders is slightly hidden under Privacy setting. That’s why it seems out of sight. Once you have used an app which works with the stock file manager, you can head over to Files and Folders setting to allow/disallow respective apps.
Allow/Disallow Apps from Accessing Files App with Ease
So, that’s the pretty simple way to allow or disallow apps from having access to the Files app. Considering how seriously Apple considers privacy, it would be apt to offer a more functional privacy control related to files and folders.
