Google Location Services: Turn off the service completely

Function s (Location) that Google has added to its Android operating system, is usually used by some applications that offer location services. For example the Google Maps application.

However, the Location service, in addition to giving us valuable information about our location, also promotes Google device location information.Google

All this more or less is already known to us. Let's see something that was revealed :

Location is not enabled by default, but Google applications, services, and third-party applications can request device owner access to use the service.

A recent The DM XIXIX The XX; XOXOO O O O-DM; from AP News reports that Google has other means to acquire the valuables even on devices where location is disabled.

According to the publication, Google uses several systems to acquire location data. Location mode is one of these, even if it is not enabled or is turned on and not used. Google can get location data through web site activities, but also from apps and other services that run at the device level.

The post gives some examples: when you open the Google Maps app, a snapshot of your location is automatically saved. Automatic updates to apps that tell you about weather conditions, or even searches unrelated to any location can store “exact latitude and longitude” information on the connected your Google.

The key issue with the new revelation is that most Android users probably do not know that location information may be stored in their account even if the site is turned off.

The AP reviewed Google location tracking on an Android device that had completely disabled location functionality. The device would still have location-based data in the user's Google account.
