How to review and reduce permissions granted to an app.
Short answer
Review the app's permissions in your device settings and revoke access it does not need. Remove the app if you do not trust it or cannot explain its behaviour.
App permissions should make sense for what the app is supposed to do.
Review access to location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos, files, notifications, and other sensitive features.
Revoke permissions that are unnecessary and remove apps you do not recognise or no longer need.
If you suspect the app was used to access sensitive information, secure the affected accounts as well.

If your personal information has been exposed, work out exactly what information was shared, secure affected accounts, watch for suspicious activity and avoid giving the same information to anyone who contacts you unexpectedly.
If you downloaded or opened a suspicious file, stop interacting with it, run a security scan, update the device and watch for unusual behaviour. Get help if the device continues behaving strangely.
