Changing Permissions
Users may change permissions given to the CartonCloud app at any stage, by modifying the app settings on their device.
Android
Permissions can be modified in Settings > Apps > CartonCloud > Permissions on devices that allow users to manage permissions. This is only possibly on devices running Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and up.
Notification settings are handled separately in some newer versions of Android though and can be tuned in more fine-grain detail in Settings > Notifications > App Notifications > CartonCloud, as well as just switching them on or off in the app permission settings.
iOS
All CartonCloud app related permissions can be modified in Settings > CartonCloud.
