How can you turn off Google location data?
A few days ago, an Australian court ruled that Google had erred in the personal information of Android customers. Once again, major technology companies have been questioning the conduct of customer location data collection, interviews and privacy. Google recently tracked the location data of those who opened new Google Accounts in Australia from January 2017 to December 2018. Many people thought that if 'location history' was stopped, data collection could be stopped. But Google continues to track location.
The Australian incident is also a warning to Google customers worldwide. How are foreign customers free from Google location tracking?
Google tracks location data and provides that information to various applications such as Google Maps. This allows Google Maps to determine your destination and where you want to go. While this feature is useful to many, it may not be your choice to track your location with a technology company. This act of secrecy can easily be stopped.
How to turn off Google location tracking from Android?
* There is an easy way to delete location data once you have installed all Google services on your Android device. First, open the Google Maps app.
* Then sign in to your Google account. All your location information is tracked and stored on this account.
* Then open Google Maps.
* When the map loads, tap the account icon at the top right.
* Here you will see the option 'Your Time Period'.
* If you select 'Settings and privacy' from the drop-down menu, a new menu will open.
* Then select 'Clear all location history' under the 'Location Settings' menu.
This will clear your Google location history. But what if you do not want to follow your local history in the future?
* Go to 'Settings and privacy menu' to turn off Google Location Tracking permanently.
* Here you will see that 'Location is open' and 'Location History is' two options. Close these two options.
