en.Wedoany.com Reported - Honor has introduced a new virtual permission security feature in MagicOS, which protects users' private data from being accessed by granting false permissions to applications. Instead of directly denying requests when an app seeks sensitive data such as location, photos, contacts, or system information, the system provides generic virtual data to avoid leaking the user's real information.

For example, when an app requests location information, Honor can return a fake location instead of the user's actual location. This mechanism prevents apps from collecting real data without requiring users to completely deny access permissions.

MagicOS adopts a tiered, progressive permission management model, offering four permission options to reduce and limit access to user data. The newly added virtual permission feature is integrated into this system, serving as an additional layer of protection beyond the traditional allow, block, or restrict permission options.

Users can find the "Virtual Permissions" option in their phone's "Security and Privacy Settings" and configure which data types require protection from this feature. This feature is available on Honor devices running MagicOS 10 or higher versions based on Android.

The launch of this feature aims to address the growing risks of information theft and unauthorized access to personal data on mobile devices, providing a practical tool to manage privacy without compromising essential app functionality.
