I keep getting a message of "grant the storage permission for this app to get this work"

[AC Question]

My phone, a Galaxy Note 5, keeps randomly displaying "grant the storage permission for this app to get this work" at the bottom in a black box. It doesn't matter what app I have open, or if I have no apps open at all. Has anyone seen this before? I tried a google search and it turned up nothing.

Welcome to the forum. I'm guessing you have an app running in the background that needs permission for storage, which is common. Can you long press on the message when it comes up? That might tell which app is asking.

The culprit is Screenshot Crop & Share. Either give it storage permission or uninstall it to fix.
