Your devices and apps really, really want to know where you are—whether it's to tell you the weather, recommend some restaurants you might like, or better target advertising at you. Managing what you're sharing and what you're not sharing, and when, can quickly get confusing.
It's also possible that you have inconsistencies in the various location histories logged by your devices: Times when you thought you'd switched off and blocked location sharing but you're still being tracked, or vice versa.
Here we'll cover everything you need to consider when it comes to location tracking, and hopefully simplify it along the way. Whether you want to give out access to your current location or not, you should be in control of these settings, and not be caught unawares by additional options that you missed.
