Use 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 permissions to access location information for particular apps as required.

Enable or Disable Location Services

You can enable or disable Location Services in the following ways:

  • Swipe down from the upper right edge of the screen to display Control Panel, touch to expand the shortcut switches panel (depending on your device model), and enable or disable Location. You can touch and hold Location to access the settings screen of Location.

  • Go to Settings > Location and enable or disable Access my location.

After Location Services is disabled, your phone will prevent all apps and services from collecting and using the location information, with the exception of some built-in apps. When apps or services need to use the location information, your phone will remind you to enable Location Services again.

Increase the Accuracy of Location Services

You can improve the positioning accuracy of your phone by allowing apps and services to scan for nearby Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth devices or access supplementary data from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS).

High-accuracy positioning is only supported on certain products.

Go to Settings > Location > Advanced settings, then set them up as required.

Allow or Deny Access to Location Information

You can grant or deny the Location permission to an app, as well as grant permanent access or access only while in use or deny access to the location information.

  1. Go to Settings > Privacy > Permission manager, touch Location, and check apps to be granted access to the location information.

  2. Touch the corresponding app and follow the onscreen instructions to grant or deny the Location permission.
