▶Google collects Android users’ locations even when location services are disabled Anonymous 11/24/17 (Fri) 21:18:44 No.827332>>827351 [Watch Thread][Show All Posts]
Many people realize that smartphones track their locations. But what if you actively turn off location services, haven’t used any apps, and haven’t even inserted a carrier SIM card?
