- xg15 5y agoThis is true - but my point was that this doesn't influece Google's ability to track your location in the slightest. Google could design the most privacy-conscious, user friendly permission system, make it super easy to disable location without any side effects - and still have the OS or Google Play Services or whatever else completely ignore the setting and track you anyway.
- hulitu 5y ago> As a user, you can decide to never enable GPS. As a user you can decide this if you never use programms which need access to location, navigation programs, for example. If you look a bit further you will notice that there are a lot of google programs which have access to location like Google play games or google play music or messages etc. There are also some "system" programs for which you cannot disable location access.
