Privacy Permission Management 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. 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. 175

Permission Management

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.

Manage the Location Permission

With the location permission, apps can obtain your location to provide location-based

location and navigation services. You can disable the permission if you do not need these

services.
