**(80) Why do I get 'Privacy service version mismatch' error?**

When installed, XPrivacy has two parts: the Xposed module part and the application part. This error means the Xposed module part and the application part have different version numbers.
If a reboot doesn't solve this problem, try to disable and enable XPrivacy in the Xposed installer and reboot again.

**(81) Why does restricting a category not restrict all of its functions! What are 'dangerous' functions?**
**(81) Why does restricting a category not restrict all of its functions? What are 'dangerous' functions?**

Some functions are marked 'dangerous' (red background) because they frequently cause applications to crash when they are restricted. When a category is restricted, the 'dangerous' functions within this category will not be restricted. These functions can be restricted directly, if needed.
Experienced users can change a 'dangerous' function into a normal function by long-clicking it in the default template. Usually, the restriction that caused an application to crash can be identified in the logcat. Again, restricting 'dangerous' functions is only recommended for experienced users and will cause crashes more frequently!
