Security and Privacy
Location Information Protection
Location Services: Determine the Location of Your Phone
Location Services collects and provides location information for location-based apps (such as weather,
maps, travel, and shopping apps) on your Phone. The approximate location of your Phone is
determined by GPS positioning (if GPS is enabled and the service is available), mobile network data,
and Wi-Fi positioning (if enabled). If GPS positioning is disabled, apps can still collect location
information in other ways.
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.
Enable or disable location services: Open
Settings, go to Security & privacy > Location
access, and enable or disable Access my location. When location services are enabled, you can also
set the appropriate positioning mode. When location services are disabled, aside for pre-installed
software, your Phone will stop all apps and services from collecting and using your location
information. The system will ask you to enable location services when you attempt to use these apps.
l
Use 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.
l
Use GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile networks: Combines the benefits of GPS positioning and networking
positioning for accurate indoor and outdoor positioning.
l
Use 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.
l
Features may vary depending on your carrier.
l
Huawei 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
access >
Settings, go to Security & privacy > Location
> 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.

unused app files to speed up system performance and keep your Phone in top shape.
When your system performance slows down or remaining storage space is low, Phone Manager will
remind you to clean up. You can follow the onscreen prompts to clean up your Phone's memory and
free up storage space.
Clean: Scan for and clean up trash files and system cache to quickly free up memory and internal
storage space without affecting your Phone usage.
Deep clean: Scan for redundant files including WeChat files, large files, videos, images, app residual
files, music files, unnecessary installation packages, unused files, and files that take up a lot of space,
and obtain cleaning suggestions based on the scan results. This helps you free up storage space
without accidentally deleting important files.
Enable Storage cleaner
Your Phone may slow down over time as your storage space gets smaller. You can use memory

smoothly.

results to speed up your device's performance. If your storage space is still low, you can perform a
