The privacy permissions will be divided into system level and application level. For example, photos can only be accessed after a user selects the file in the application. When photos are displayed as thumbnails in the system, the application will not have access to the files.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"China\u2019s five leading Android-system smartphone brands \u2013 Honor, Lenovo, Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi \u2013 have formed a platform&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11403,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[821,11016,11017,311,11012,381,11015,18,10979,5218,19,11018,988,17,11014,11013,82,5316],"class_list":{"0":"post-11402","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-android","9":"tag-android-photo-picker","10":"tag-android-users","11":"tag-apple","12":"tag-canalys","13":"tag-china","14":"tag-data-privacy","15":"tag-eire","16":"tag-harmonyos","17":"tag-huawei","18":"tag-ie","19":"tag-intelligent-terminal-alliance-itgsa","20":"tag-ios","21":"tag-ireland","22":"tag-oppo","23":"tag-privacy-protection","24":"tag-technology","25":"tag-xiaomi"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11402","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11402"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11402\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11403"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11402"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11402"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
