How can i disable the android auto permission disable feature? [migrated]

Since Android 11, there is a system feature where it resets app permissions after a certain amount of time has passed and you haven't used the app. I hate this, it keeps resetting apps I use infrequently.

I know you can turn it off on most apps, but it seems to turn back on when there are app or system updates. There must be a way to disable this feature entirely or to make the default setting off instead of on.

I have tried various searches but I can find nothing. Others must have had the desire to disable this annoying feature? Any help would be appreciated!

Solution 1:

Since you haven't mentioned your OEM, android skin, etc, I'm going to answer this from my device's perspective, i.e., a realme device (steps below would also work with any realme/oppo/oneplus device)

Go to app info on each of those apps > permissions > toggle "remove permissions if not used" to OFF.
