This is an Android-only permission.

It lets the Visualfy app know when there is an incoming message (SMS); it is also part of how the Visualfy Places “Accessible SMS” alert works. When there is a new message, Visualfy lights up the locked phone screen in color to alert the user. The following video shows how to grant this permission:

If you tapped “Deny”, you can enable the permission as shown in the video below.

Enable the permission from your phone’s “Settings” #

If you denied this permission before, you can enable it from:

• Tap the SMS alert.
  • Tap “Accept” in the message “To enable this option, go to your phone settings and enable the contacts permission in the Visualfy app.”
• The app settings screen opens. Go to: App permissions -> Contacts -> Allow

Another option is to go directly to: *Settings -> Apps -> Installed apps -> Visualfy -> App permissions -> Contacts -> Allow*.
