User manual

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.
Manage the Location Permission
With the location permission, apps can obtain your location to provide location-based
services. For example, if a map app obtains the location permission, it can provide you with
location and navigation services. You can disable the permission if you do not need these
services.
1 Go to Settings > Apps > Permissions.
2 On the Permissions screen, enter Location, touch the app you want to manage, and
select an option.
Manage Permissions to Access Other Private Data
You can also manage permissions to access your personal data, such as Contacts, Messaging,
Call logs, Body sensors, Calendar, and Camera, to enjoy better services and protect your
privacy.
On the Permissions screen, touch the permission you want to manage, and toggle the switch
for each app on or o as required.
Location Services
Some apps need to obtain your 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. Touch to enable or disable this function.
• Alternatively, 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.
