oowee Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 I have got the location setting on my phone turned off. Every few minutes my android phone flashes an offer over the screen asking me if i want to turn it back on. Is it possible to stop this?

clakk Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Its the latest scam from Google when u turn it off as you have they cant track your movements for the sales ,marketing and data people to follow you .Its not a phone setting but a internet giant big brothering you .They want to know your inside leg measurment and if your at KFC or Maccy d,s for tea so im afraid itl keep happening Edited December 22, 2018 by clakk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymo Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Was going to suggest the solution is to buy an iPhone 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely hates the thing. Can't say I'm overly impressed either. She also installed iTunes on her account on the desktop and it slithered its way onto my account and the work account, I kept getting blummin popup box's asking me to do stuff. Annoying. In the end I got her a tablet and got rid of it from the desktop, invasive? Mutchly. Getting back to the op, I use google mapping quite a lot so leave the location service on. At less they will find my body😯😂 Edited December 24, 2018 by manthing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met a couple from Finland today that had a map creation app. It takes data from sites like google and creates in country mapping for use without data. They had a propper road map for the island that even the locals had not seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
