In today’s digital age, smartphones have become essential to our lives. We rely on these compact devices for almost everything—from making calls and sharing content to staying connected with loved ones, managing work tasks, and enjoying entertainment.
But with this growing dependence comes increased risks of fraud, hacking, and privacy violations. One of the major threats today is location tracking. If someone is secretly tracking your location, your privacy—and even your safety—could be at risk.
Here’s how you can check if your location is being tracked and how to stop it:
📍 Check Location Sharing on Android:
Open the Settings app on your phone.
Scroll down and tap on Google (or search for it if you don’t see it easily).
Tap Manage your Google Account.
Go to the People & Sharing section.
Under this menu, you’ll see a list of people you’ve shared your location with.
If you spot any unknown or unwanted contacts, disable location sharing immediately.
📱 Check App Permissions:
Many apps request location access—even when it’s not necessary.
To control this:
Return to Settings on your smartphone.
Tap on Location.
Select App permissions or App location access.
You’ll see a list of apps that have access to your location.
You can choose from:
Allow all the time
Allow only while using the app
Deny
⚠️ It’s a good habit to review these settings regularly and limit access for apps that don’t truly need it.
Taking these simple steps can significantly improve your privacy and give you more control over your digital footprint.
