On my phone at least, Google spams me for data input whenever I use maps and it seems at least to do that even if I simply have location on without actually using any app.
Ï cannot disable this, it also sends me ads from built in apps (not really Google here) that I cannot disable.
I am done with all of that. For years I have been an android enthusiast, thinking it was so much better than iPhone. How times change.
- Ajedi32 9y ago> Ï cannot disable this Yes you can. Settings > Notifications > Your contributions. And even if that didn't work, Android lets you turn off individual categories of notifications for Maps and other apps at a system-wide level.
- abustamam 9y agoDon't know how you feel about ad blockers, but I installed an off-market app called BlockThis (Google it) to get rid of ads on my browser, and it had the added benefit of disabling ads within apps. Many Android apps are very obstructive with their ads (not androids fault) so now I just always have BlockThis enabled.
