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 either of the following ways:

Swipe down from the status bar to open the notification panel (you can swipe further to display all shortcuts), and enable or disable .
Alternatively, go to Settings > Location, and enable or disable Access my location.

After location services are disabled, your phone will prevent all apps and services from collecting and using location information, with the exception of some built-in apps. When these apps or services need to use 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).

The feature availability varies by device.

Go to Settings > Location > Advanced settings , then set the options as required.

Allow or Forbid Apps to Obtain Location Information

You can allow or forbid an app to access location information, including granting permanent access or access when using the app, or denying access to location information.

Go to Settings > Privacy > Permission manager , touch Location, and check which apps have been granted access to location information.
Touch the corresponding app and follow the onscreen instructions to grant or deny permissions.
