Enable or Disable Location Services
After obtaining the location information permission, apps can obtain your location at any time. If your
location information is obtained by a malicious app, you may be at risk of harm or fraud. You can
enable or disable location services as needed and regularly monitor and manage the allowed
permissions for your apps to protect your privacy and security.
Enable or disable location services: Open
Settings, go to Security & privacy > Location
access, and enable or disable Access my location. When location services are disabled, aside for
pre-installed software, your Phone will stop all apps and services from collecting and using your
location information. The system will ask you to enable location services when you attempt to use
these apps.
