Permissions blocked

[Sheena]

Anyone else finding g loads of permissions blocked after the update? I can access online banking or my health app as permissions are blocked and greyed out so can't change it. Checked with a friend last night and hers is the same.

@Sheena: Typically if a permission is greyed out then it is an essential part of the application. Which permissions in particular are greyed out for you on your banking app and Samsung Health? 

[Sheena]

In the app is says permissions allowed. If I go into setting then apps and galaxy wear, it says permissions blocked as per picture. I did online chat for an hour then I had a call last week where Samsung did remote work on my phone and it still didn't work. I've deleted and reinstalled, cleared cookies, cleared cache and forced stop. Still no luck.

This is from the Wear app

@Sheena: There seems to be a bit of confusion, as it is your notifications that are blocked, not your permissions (although this is still unusual). 

For clarity, what happens when you attempt to open the Galaxy Wearable app, or any other affected apps? 

If you head to Settings > Security and privacy > More security settings > Device admin apps, are any apps toggled on here? 

[Sheena]

Hey nothing on device admin are toggled. If I manually open the app it latches on after a few seconds. It's just not sending g notifications like it used to.
