HONOR Connect provides device interconnection features under the same HONOR ID, such as Connected Notification, Connected Call, Connected Apps, Connected Input, and multi-device connection of earbuds. It allows devices to automatically discover each other and transfer files. Meanwhile, it secures your data during seamless device collaboration.
Owner Identification
This feature helps identify the device owner across devices. When enabled, the facial information stored on the phone will be securely transferred to other devices logged into the same HONOR ID for encryption and local storage, and will not be uploaded to the cloud.

This feature helps you extract text and scan documents. To protect your privacy, the image and text information will only be processed locally.
"Extract text" allows you to extract text from an image, then you can copy, drag or tap it to get related services. This service needs to use the text recognition function of HONOR AIEngine to analyze and identify text in images.
"Scan document" takes pictures of your documents via camera with your permission, and crops them for convenient viewing in work, study, and daily life. You can also edit document pictures and save the edited version as an electronic file. With permission to access your photos, you can edit documents scanned and saved to Gallery. This service needs to use the edge detection function of HONOR AIEngine to process your image data.

HONOR Data Sync allows you to synchronize app data across devices and protects your data and privacy with industry-leading technologies. For example, Password Vault data is protected by end-to-end encryption and is synced to other devices logged into your HONOR ID to ensure neither other people nor HONOR can access your data. It can only be decrypted when you log in to the device with your HONOR ID. You can disable Data Sync or delete cloud data at any time to secure your personal information.

HONOR AI Space helps you manage multiple devices. It will establish a secure communication channel with devices to transfer your command. To protect your privacy and ensure device security, we will use HONOR ID for identity verification. Other users can control the devices only based on your authorization. You can revoke the authorization at any time.

Bluetooth tags are Bluetooth devices used for item location and may be used for malicious tracking. We provide the function to discover unknown Bluetooth tags. When a Bluetooth tag is detected to follow your phone for a distance, your Honor phone will alert you that an unknown Bluetooth tag is following you, and you can follow the sound to find this Bluetooth tag. You can choose to turn this feature off at any time.

The AI privacy call can effectively minimize sound leakage and protect your privacy. You can make phone calls in the AI privacy call mode without worrying about the call being heard by those around you, especially when taking the elevator, car or meeting. You can go to Settings > Accessibility features > AI Private Call to turn it on or off.

The Online Number Identification feature can help you identify unknown numbers by classifying them with a yellow page descriptor (brand and merchant) and a harassment type descriptor (harassment, fraud, sales, courier, real estate agent, and others). This feature works only with your authorization and will not store information about your call history.

Privacy options is a feature that provides privacy protection when sharing pictures:

1. You can choose to remove the location and parameter details from image files before sharing them to prevent sensitive information from being revealed.

2. Help protect your privacy by providing the ability to "Remove location information" and "Remove photo information" when sharing pictures.

The Notes Lock feature provides password protection for the important information that you've entered on the fly. Data is processed on-device and will not be uploaded to servers.

We have provided an App Lock feature to prevent unauthorized access to private information contained in your apps. Locked apps can only be accessed after authentication to ensure the privacy of the device owner.

Secure input provides you with a safe input environment and is enabled by default. The system will automatically switch to secure input when you need to enter a password. This feature will not collect your inputs or remember your input history. Also, screenshot and recording functions will be disabled when secure input is active to ensure password security.

All permissions are managed transparently. Each permission requires your consent to use and can be disabled on the permission management page.

1. The system will provide suggestions on granting the least number of permissions to common apps.

2. Background access to the camera and microphone is not permitted by default.

3. Granted permissions will be automatically revoked for apps that have not been used for 90 days.

The “Data and Privacy” page shows our privacy principles, philosophy, and privacy statements for related apps. It helps you understand how Honor will collect and use your personal information, what personal data may be shared, how it will be used to improve your experience, and how your data subject rights can be exercised before you log in to your device.

As a crucial barrier that protects the security of your device, screen lock passwords are guarded by the following measures in Magic UI to prevent them from being leaked.

1. Entered lock screen passwords will be stored by an irreversible algorithm and protected with a hardware-bound unique key.

2. Lock screen password verifications are done in a secure and hardware-isolated environment.

3. Magic UI imposes password attempt limits to prevent forced cracking.

The lock screen password must be entered after a reboot or after 72 hours of the last password input and cannot be substituted by biometric authentication methods such as facial recognition and fingerprints.

The lock screen password is also used to encrypt and protect your privacy. Data such as pictures, text messages, emails, and other application data will not be accessible without password verification.

Magic UI features built-in face recognition that's more secure and widely suited for high-security scenarios (such as making payments). Multiple safeguards are implemented to ensure the security of your facial data.

1. The acquisition, detection, extraction, comparison, and storage of facial data are performed in a TEE secure environment.

2. System and the third-party apps that use face recognition will only get the verification result but not the facial data itself.

3. Facial data is encrypted by a high-strength algorithm and saved to a secure storage location.

4. Facial data will only be stored on-device and will not be sent, exported, or backed up to cloud services or external storage media.

From enrollment to authentication, fingerprint information will never be uploaded to servers but converted into templates and stored in a secure and isolated environment on-device.

Magic UI has a Find Device function. If your Honor phone or tablet is lost or stolen, you can log in to the Honor Find Device website or the Find Device app to find your lost device. The following features can help you find your lost device, secure data on your device, and keep your privacy safe.
√ Locate device: Shows the location of the device on the map. It includes active positioning and automatic reporting of location information when the battery is low.
√ Play ringtone: The device plays the alert ringtone at maximum volume, regardless of whether it is silent or in vibration mode.
√ Shutdown verification password: After this function is turned on, the lock screen password will be required to shut down the phone.
√ Enable mobile data remotely: If your device is disconnected from the internet when you use Find Device, Find Device will help you remotely turn on the mobile data of your device.
√ Lost mode: Lock the screen and enter a special power-saving mode. Display the message and contact number on the screen and report locations automatically. Send a text message after the internet connection is established. In addition, the contact information on incoming calls and new messages will be hidden.
√ Lock the SIM card: After entering the lost mode, you can lock the SIM card on the device. After that, you need to enter the password when inserting the SIM card into other devices or after restarting the device.
√ Erase data: Restore the device to factory settings and erase all data (including data on the memory card) permanently. After that, you will still be able to locate the device. Your HONOR ID password is still required to use the device.
√ Activation lock: If the device is lost and the data is erased, the next time it is restarted, the user will need to log in to the HONOR ID to re-activate the device. This feature ensures that unauthorized users cannot activate and use the device to keep it safe.
