SY0-501 Question #67: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A mobile device user is concerned about geographic positioning information being included in messages sent between users on a popular social network platform. The user turns off the functionality in the application, but wants to ensure the application cannot re-enable the setting without the knowledge of the user. Which of the following mobile device capabilities should the user disable to achieve the stated goal?

Options

• ADevice access control
• BLocation based services
• CApplication control
• DGEO-Tagging

Explanation

To prevent a social network application from re-enabling geographic positioning information in messages, the user should disable the device's GEO-Tagging capability. This ensures that even if the app tries to re-enable its internal setting, the device-level control will override it, preventing location data from being embedded.

Common mistakes.

• A. Device access control typically pertains to managing who can use the device or access its hardware peripherals, not specifically the embedding of geographic data by applications.
• B. Location based services is a broader system capability that provides location data to applications; while disabling it would prevent GEO-Tagging, 'GEO-Tagging' is a more specific capability focused on the embedding aspect, which directly addresses the user's concern about information being included in messages.
• C. Application control involves managing the installation, execution, or permissions of applications, but disabling 'application control' itself would not directly prevent an app from accessing a device capability like GEO-Tagging if the capability is enabled.
