New Android 11 OS to Offer Better Control Over Location Sharing
The update is due in September 2020.
The new Android 11 operating system will allow users to restrict the display of their location to apps. This is reported by Mashable.
Thus, if a user wants an app to know where they are for a specific purpose, but does not want the app to continuously send their location data to third parties, the new Android OS will provide the ability to control this.
"In Android 11, we are now letting users control personal information even more by using a temporary "one-time" permission for sensitive data such as location," the company said.
When users select this option, apps can access data only until the user leaves the app, and the app must then request permission again for the next access.
It is worth noting that this update has not yet reached the masses. The new feature is expected to be available to everyone from the official launch of Android 11, which is expected to take place in September 2020.
Previously, it was reported that Facebook will pay $550 million for using facial recognition technology.
