It's not clear to me what app or service provided / recorded the user locations that were turned over?
Does this have to do with Pixel phones? Or the Google Maps record of a person's device location (which goes across many device types and doesn't even require smartphone)?
- slimsag 7y agoI believe it is all Google services: search, gmail, android, anything that can determine your approximate location.
- sbarre 7y agoYour phone itself, not a specific app, is constantly recording your location. From my understanding, in the case of Android (with Google services), if you have location history turned on, that location data is pushed up to Google at very regular intervals. You don't need to be using a specific app.

- osmarks 7y agoPossibly Google Play Services? That's where they stick a lot of this sort of thing, IIRC.
- boring_twenties 7y agoLocation History is a setting in Google Maps. You can toggle it account-wide, or for individual devices.
