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.

  1. Go to Settings > Apps > Permissions.

  2. On the screen, enter Location, touch the app you want to manage, and select an option.

Manage the Dropzone Permission

The Dropzone permission allows apps to display dropzone windows, such as a floating window for video chats or reminders. While this is very useful in some cases, in others it is not. Some reminder windows, for example, may occupy the entire screen.

On the Permissions screen, set the Dropzone permission for apps using either of the following methods:
  • On the Apps tab, touch the app you want to manage, then touch Dropzone, and select an option.

  • On the Permissions tab, touch Dropzone, and toggle the switch next to the app you want to manage on or off.

Manage Permissions to Access Other Private Data

You can also manage permissions to access your personal data, such as Contacts, Messaging, Call logs, Body sensors, Calendar, and Camera, to enjoy better services and protect your privacy.

On the screen, touch the permission you want to manage, and toggle the switch for each app on or off as required.
