S24+ permissions

Why do Samsung apps in my phone have the permission to "install unknown apps" ? 

And I am unable to revoke that permission??? Auto hotspot????

 Check your phones! Samsung has a huge problem and I have the proof..... AOD app with insane permissions??? Why?

Everything you are showing there is a system app.  The system apps always have that permission enabled just in case a user enables the permission.  *Your* ability to turn the install unknown apps on or off lies in apps/tap 3-dot menu, choose special access.  Scroll down to install unknown apps and "deny all" or choose apps that are allowed to install unknown apps.  This permission would be necessary in my files, for instance, if you wanted to install an APK file or other app you did not get from official sources.  You can turn the permission on or off at any time.  Why are you rooting through system files anyway?  You clearly do not understand what you are seeing.

OK, all system apps have this as default do they? They actually don't. Shall I post more screenshots?

Because the entire purpose of Knox is security and it does not need that permission to be permanent.  STOP LOOKING AT THINGS YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND and challenging people when they explain. If you are curious as to why things are, take some computing classes.

What you *should* do is stop flooding the feed with extra large screen shots (there is an adjustment tool) and stop looking in system apps, because you clearly do not understand what you are seeing.  System apps are hidden for a reason and should only be accessed for troubleshooting.  Seriously, take some classes.

If a system app has a required permission, I wouldn't question it.  I would assume it was necessary for the device to work properly.

Ah yes, let me just blindly believe you, no questions asked, that's always the best path to understanding, right? And let me commend you on the way you spread knowledge to the uneducated, with your apparent superior knowledge on the subject at hand, Bravo, well done 👏

You don't have to believe me, I do not care.   You should not go mucking around in system apps. PERIOD, especially if you do not understand something.  Once again, if a system app *requires* a permission, it's for a reason.  Just because some system apps require it and some don't, doesn't make it any less necessary.  This is not a school, I gave you an explanation the first time. You didn't like the explanation.

Hmm, system app. Knox in fact. No mention of installing unknown apps.....

[meself]

You can have that turned off in settings

More system apps, not knox
