Manage App Access Permissions
Apps may require certain permissions, such as the Location permission, in order to provide
you with corresponding services.
However, some apps may obtain excessive permissions, posing potential risks to your
information privacy and security. You can check the permissions granted to each app and
deny those you deem unnecessary in system Settings.
Manage the Location Permission
After being granted the Location permission, an app can obtain your location information.
For example, if a map app is granted the Location permission, it can provide you with
location and navigation services. You can revoke the permission if you do not need these
services.
