Permission Management
Apps may require certain permissions, such as the Location permission, 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.
