Applications on your phone usually track the activity of its owner and, in most cases, its location. In some cases, they even sell the information obtained to third parties. Find out how to prevent it.
Some applications, such as those designed for sports or food imports, need to know where you are. However, many do not need this information, but they will still ask you to track your location, and most users will allow this option during installation.
It’s a good idea to disable these applications from accessing your location and tracking. If you allow the application to be tracked, in most cases it can find out practically anything about you. How to do it?
If you own an iPhone, just follow these steps:
- Settings
- Privacy
- Location services
You can then choose whether you want your device to share location information. You can decide on individual applications separately. In the menu, you can choose between the options Never, Ask next time and When using the application. It’s up to you which app you allow to track your location.
On Android, first check which apps have access to your location. Then just follow the steps below again:
- Settings
- Security
- Position
Then you can choose again whether you want the application to follow you or not. Again, you can choose which application you want to enable tracking for and which you don’t.
Applications can learn almost anything about you right now. From your web browsing history to location, contact or bank details to what you like to buy. In addition, this data is very valuable, as developers can continue to work with it. Learn more in this article.
