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 notification 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 or access correction data for global
navigation satellite systems (GNSS).
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.
