Do you have your Location turned on? (cell phone tracking)

[Ax01]

^ like that.

i know alotta peeps who have location services turned completely off. esp. if they have a work-issued phone. some have paranoia of the boss. some of the government. some of their significant other. some big tech company. advertisers. etc. etc. so for some or all of these reasons, many usually turn off this feature and service. of course, this is assuming that u have your phone w/ u as u move about your day and life.

i thought this was all kinda creepy at first but now i don't mind. i still get kind of an uneasy laugh when i get a google notification asking me to confirm/save something on my timeline, but at the end of the day - i hope my data goes towards better products, service and stuff. location might even save my life if i get lost or incapacitated.

what settings do u have Locations on your smart phone?

You missed a category in your survey: what cell phone?

And for the record, IF I used a cell phone, my location tracking WOULD be turned off*...it's totally creepy!
*UNLESS I was on a road trip- for emergency purposes, I'd allow it then.

I was always against anything with tracking. Always. Then a few bad hits to the head, a few cases of being lost in places I'd been hundreds of times before...

Only person I let track me is my girlfriend, at least I hope that's it. She put on the tracker after the first time I started forgetting where I was.

I just upgraded to a smart phone from a flip phone two weeks ago. I could easily live without having any phone at all.

As for the location I just leave it off unless an ap needs it to run properly.

I've had a cell phone before, hardly ever used it, & not currently in need of one, lol. Sure don't need a fancy smart phone either. Like, seriously...

I have it one for what I feel is needed. The main thing I always have off is GPS tagging in pictures.

I do my best to keep my face out of social media, vague locations, gps off, but at some point your phone always tracks you. Whatever options you believe keep the location off, I highly suspect to some degree it is on and you are still tracked.

This is a excellent topic... I usually only have my location known for certain apps I use, but its super scary to think that someone can be tracking your every move. I just saw a story on the news today that if you have an iPhone there is a way to listen in on other peoples conversations that use the Face-to-face chat app.... Talk about invasion of privacy!

On the other hand, it would be very convenient if cell phones could be miniaturized so that our snakes could carry them & we could track the little buggers when they escape.
