OCTOBER 2019 PCWorld 97a toggle that merely allows or blocks access,
there’s a new option—-allow only while
using the app. That means an app won’t be
able to access location data unless you’re
explicitly using it, so you don’t have to
worry about being tracked by apps running
in the background.
Because most users won’t be aware of
the change, Google will push out occasional
alerts to let you know which apps are
accessing your location. Occasionally, you’ll
get a notification warning that a specific app
got your location in the background
because it can always access your location.
The privacy settings are much easier to find in Android 10.
To change the permission, you’ll simply
need to tap the notification to get to that
app’s permission settings.WI-FI PASSWORD SHARING
There’s always one thing your guests want
before a drink or a bowl of chips: your Wi-Fi
password. In Android 10, Google is making
it easy to give it to them. Head over to your
Wi-Fi settings, tap on the network you’re
connected to, and you’ll see a new Share
button. Tap it and a QR code will appear,
which can be scanned by a QR reader on
another phone.
