How to Remove Camera Permissions for Pokemon Go on a Google Pixel 4A

The Pokemon Go app makes it possible for you to find and catch Pokemon as you travel throughout the world.

As the game has been out for several years now, many new features have been added and the game has really expanded from what it was originally at release.

We have seen the addition of things like raids, where you and other players can team up to battle and catch a strong Pokemon, as well as a battling system where you can build a team of your strongest Pokemon to go up against another player’s team.

But in addition to these features, there have been other changes, such as the ability to take pictures of your Pokemon in the wild. This can let you create some pretty interesting images that you can share with others.

But in order to take these pictures, Pokemon Go needs access to your phone’s camera.

If you have already granted that camera access, then you can revoke camera permissions for Pokemon Go on a Pixel 4A by going to Settings > Apps and notifications > Permission manager > Camera > Pokemon Go > Deny.

This setting can be changed at any time, so if you start playing Pokemon Go again and discover that you can’t do something, you can always return to this menu and re-enable those camera permissions.

Our tutorial continues below with more information on the Pokemon Go camera permissions on a Google Pixel 4A, plus more information on changing app permissions in Android.
