Phone Location Privacy Settings Card | iPhone & Android Location Tracking Guide | Stop Location Sharing | Printable PDF | Digital Download
Take Back Control Of Where Your Phone Says You Are
Your phone broadcasts your location all day — to apps, ad networks, and any account you've quietly shared it with.
The Phone Location Privacy Settings Card walks you through pruning location access on both iPhone and Android, including the hidden "Significant Locations" history and the share-with-friends features you may have forgotten you enabled. Every step is written in plain English with the exact menu path to tap.
Perfect for anyone who wants to see who is tracking them and shut off the access they never meant to give.
