Android: Cannot enable Ora Accessibility, "Restricted Settings" Error

Android: Cannot enable Ora Accessibility, "Restricted Settings" Error

Symptoms

  • In Accessibility, the Ora permission is off and the toggle is greyed out. Tapping it shows: “Restricted setting ; For security reasons, this setting is currently unavailable.”


Cause

  • Android 13+ security policy disables Accessibility for sideloaded apps (not installed via an app store). This can be lifted manually.

Resolution

  1. Open Ora’s App info: Settings > Apps > Ora (or long‑press the Ora icon on the home screen > App info).
  2. Tap on the three-dot icon in the top-right corner
     > “Allow restricted setting”.

  3. Return to Settings > Accessibility > Ora and enable the permission.
