Google pretty much tracks you and your smartphone wherever it goes and log it in your Google Timeline. It’s part of the search engine’s whole system of letting you know where you’re going and where you have been. It would be a nice thing to keep track of where you have been for trips down memory lane, but it is also a very creepy privacy concern.
Turning off location history in your Google account is just the beginning of stopping Google from tracking you. According to Cnet, some apps still store your location data and simply opening any Google platform logs your approximate location with a time stamp.
Google does give you control over the matter, you just have to know where to look.

They’re going to be awful bored tracking me.
When I retire, which is soon, the first thing I’m going to do is chuck this smart phone into the ocean in a very deep spot.
Why do think the gubment was giving away free obama phones? We taxpayers had to pay for our own phones plus the millions they gave away (the “free” ones lol) so the commie machine could spy on us all. I leave mine home when I am on “secret missions”. Maybe I shouldn’t use that term-might trigger an fbi investigation seeing as how I am a white conservative.. I wish I could lol but it really isn’t funny. We are living in precarious times to put it mildly.
11:18 That’s what I was going to say……….I hope they are because they are in for a very boring time.
Google is controlled by the demented CIA
wait till you find out about 5G
