location service to help estimate your location faster, with or 
without help from GPS.
When the switch is Off, your tablet can’t nd your precise location 
or share it with any apps.
IMPORTANT:  Turning off location access for your tablet 
also turns it off for Google Now, other Google apps, and 
non-Google apps. That means that no apps can receive 
your precise location information, and many useful fea-
tures will be disabled.
For Google apps
When location access for your tablet is turned on, you can pre-
vent Google apps from using this information with one easy set-
ting – without affecting access by non-Google apps. To do so:
1.  Go to Settings > Accounts > Google > Location settings.
2.  Slide the switch to the Off position.
IMPORTANT: When you turn Location settings off, non-
Google apps and Google’s location service will continue to 
receive your location. To change these settings, go to Set-
tings > Personal > Location access.
Change backup & reset options 
If your tablet has multiple users, only the owner can see the back-
up & reset options.
