# Enabling mobile app app permissions for Android

If you didn't enable the relevant permissions when installing PingID mobile app, you can enable them manually from your phone settings.

## About this task

We recommend enabling all PingID mobile app permissions. If you accept all pop-up requests when you install PingID mobile app, all PingID mobile app permissions are enabled by default. If you need to enable them at a later date, you can do so through the PingID mobile app settings on your device.

## Steps

1. On your Android device, go to **Settings → Apps → PingID → Permissions**.

2. Enable the following permissions:

   | Option    | Description                                                                                                         |
   | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   | Camera    | Enables PingID mobile app to access your camera so you can pair your device using the QR code.                      |
   | Location  | Enables PingID mobile app to access and incorporate location-based information to enhance security.                 |
   | Telephone | Enables PingID mobile app to use your phone settings so you can authenticate more securely from your mobile device. |
