Use Location Services
Some apps need to obtain y
our location information to provide better services. You can
enable or disable location services, and grant or deny the permission to access location
information for particular apps as required.
Enable or Disable Location Services
You can enable or disable location services in either of the following ways:
• Swipe down from the status bar to open the notication panel and swipe down further to
display all shortcut switches. T
ouch
to enable or disable this function.
• Alternat
ively, go to Settings > Location and enable or disable Access my location.
After location services are disabled, your device will prevent all apps and services from
collecting and using location information, with the exception of some built-in apps. When
these apps or services need to use location information, your device will remind you to
enable location services again.
Increase the Accuracy of Location Services
You can improve the positioning accuracy of your device by allowing apps and services to
scan for nearby Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth devices or access correction data for global
navigation satellite systems (GNSS).
The feature availability varies by device.
Go to Settings > Location > Advanced settings, then set the options as required.
Allow or Forbid Apps to Obtain Location Information
You can allow or forbid an app to access location information, including granting one-time or
permanent access, or denying access to location information during use of the app.
1 Go to Settings > Privacy > Permission manager, touch Location, and check which apps
have been granted access to location information.
2 Touch the app for which you want to change settings and follow the onscreen instructions
to grant or deny permissions.
Manage App Access Permissions
Apps may require certain permissions, such as the Location permissions, in order to provide
you with corresponding services.
However, some apps may obtain too many unnecessary permissions, posing potential risks to
your privacy and information security. You can monitor the permissions granted to each app
and deny those you deem unnecessary.
