In order to function properly, MightyText needs some permissions to be enabled on your Android phone.

To make sure you have the proper permissions, on your Android phone (running Android 6.0 or later), go to:

 Android Settings -> Apps -> MightyText -> Permissions 


Here is a list of what permissions the app needs and why.
