lUse a ngerprint to access apps locked by App lock: You can now open locked apps on your
home screen using your ngerprint.
Enable or Disable Location Services
After obtaining the location information permission, apps can obtain your location at any time. If your
location information is obtained by a malicious app, you may be at risk of harm or fraud. You can
enable or disable location services as needed and regularly monitor and manage the allowed
permissions for your apps to protect your privacy and security.

Security and Privacy
55
location information. The system will ask you to enable location services when you attempt to use
these apps.
lUse Wi-Fi and mobile networks: Calculates your Phone's location using carrier base station
location information or nearby Wi-Fi router location information. The accuracy of the location
information depends largely upon location information gathered from the base station or Wi-Fi
network. Accuracy normally ranges from 100 meters to several kilometers. Network positioning has
low accuracy, but allows for positioning while indoors and uses less battery power.
lUse GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile networks: Combines the benets of GPS positioning and networking
positioning for accurate indoor and outdoor positioning.
lUse GPS only: Only uses satellites found by your Phone's GPS to determine your position. No
network connection is needed. GPS satellite positioning is more accurate but also uses more battery.
It is accurate within tens of meters. However, indoor positioning may be inaccurate.
lFeatures may vary depending on your carrier.
lHuawei only uses location data to provide you with necessary functions and services, not for
the purpose of identifying and collecting your private information.
Set indoor positioning assistance: Open Settings, go to Security & privacy > Location
access > > Scan settings, and enable or disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning. Scanning Wi-Fi
networks and Bluetooth devices will improve the accuracy of indoor positioning.
Enable App Lock
App lock allows you to set a password for your important apps. Once you restart your Phone or
unlock the screen, you will be asked to enter your App lock password when opening the apps for the
rst time. App lock enhances the protection of your private information and prevents unauthorized
access to important apps on your device.
Enable App lock: Open Settings. Go to Security & privacy > App lock. When you access the
app for the rst time, follow the onscreen instructions to set the password and enter the app lock. In
subsequent access, you can directly enter the app lock password. On the App lock screen, enable App
lock for the apps you want to protect. When accessing a locked app for the rst time, you need to
enter the password in the password text box. If you forget the password, touch Forgot password,
enter the answer in the password protection question box, and reset the password. If you have not
set the password protection, the Forgot password option is not available.
Modify your App lock password and password protection: Touch on the App lock screen,
