View and Manage the Privacy Settings on Your Phone
Find privacy tips, privacy permissions, and app privacy behavior logs on your phone, by
visiting the privacy center. When an app uses a sensitive permission, your phone will inform
you in real time, so that you can make timely adjustments, when necessary.
Privacy behavior logs are analyzed and displayed solely on your phone, and will not be
•
uploaded to the cloud.
Some system apps will not display permission reminders or privacy suggestions when
•
using permissions.
View Permission Access Notifications
Your phone will inform you of any sensitive permissions that are being used on the status bar,
and display the app information on Control Panel in real time. From there, you can choose to
manage these permissions on a case-by-case basis.
For example, when an app uses the microphone permission, the microphone icon will display
on the status bar. You can swipe down from the upper right edge of your phone to display
Control Panel, and check which app is using this permission at the top.
Touch the app name to view the recent sensitive permission logs for the app, or to disable
specific permissions for the app.
Real-time access notification is only supported for certain sensitive permissions.
View Sensitive Permission Records
You can view records related to sensitive permission usage and recent app privacy behavior in
the privacy dashboard.
To do so, go to Settings > Privacy, and touch the permission icon, app icon, or
the permission icon on the dashboard.
Touch View full history to view records of lock screen data access, frequent data access, and
app privacy behavior.
Bolster Image Privacy Protections
Concerned that certain third-party apps might obtain sensitive information from images in
the background, or the image information may be leaked when you share images on social
media, just enable Image privacy for ultimate peace of mind.
Go to Settings > Privacy, touch Image privacy, and enable Remove location info and
Remove other info.
Once this feature has been enabled, third-party apps, rather than system apps, for example
Gallery, will not be able to obtain sensitive image information, such as the locations, device
models, and times when the images were taken.
