Prevent Security message about WhatsApp

[AC Question]

Hello Everyone,

I am using ZTE Blade L3 (Not my choice, it was a gift!)

I keep having a large black Security notice pop up stating that WhatsApp is trying to Delete/Check my contacts, and in so many seconds it will be permanently denied access.

At the bottom is a tap choice of Deny/Allow.

As I initiated ithis by refreshing WhatsApp to check some recently added contacts, I tapped Allow. The notice disappeared and immediately came back and each time I tapped Allow it came back again. The notice covers almost everything on the screen and I have to close down to get back to my screen.

I would seek advice on how to stop this security message popping up each time WhatsApp checks my contacts.

(Please be explicit, this is my first smart phone and I am not a smart person - yet!)

Thanks,

Regards,

Colin
