Associated Press and Google Location Track

[zihadhasan011]

A while ago, the Associated Press published a post that shocked many people. According to the Associated Press, deleting the “Location History” does not always ensure that the device will not be tracked. In this regard, AP discovered some information that left the most concerned with some distrust. According to the publication, Google is able to track the places where you have been even if you deactivate the history setting.

On Google's website, you can find an option to delete your location history. However, this does not always work and it is common for some Google applications to continue storing data related to the location. The data stored also includes the time that the person visited a certain location, so when it is not enabled, it constitutes a certain invasion of privacy.

But, in the end, what happens?
When you turn off history, Google automatically stops recording netherlands phone data locations, but warns that some location data may be saved as a function of other Google features you've used, such as Maps and Search.

When you do a Google search or get the weather automatically or manually via a widget, Google may still record your location.

Can accidental location recording be prevented?
Yes! Please note that it is possible to prevent Google from recording the user’s location, but to do so, you must disable a feature called “Web and App Activity”.

On an Android device, it is possible to disable it by following these steps:

Configuration;
Google > Google Account;
Data & Personalization > Web & App Activity;
Switch for Web and App Activity off.
Then, to prevent location history from being recorded, you need to go to the “Data and Personalization” tab, then select “Location History,” and activate that setting for each device or phone that is connected to your Google account.
