The location allows us to receive more accurate information on our phone at the software level either general or within the applications. So we can be receiving some prediction while we do some route, receive synchronized time information, or even stores or restaurants that are near you. The location option must also be enabled in order to share it with other users.
But having the option enabled is not always good and is that many applications ask for this information for other purposes. We must be very aware of what type of permits we are granting our phone software because they can know more about us from the account. That third-party applications have information about where we are continuously is not very convenient. So today we will see how we can deactivate the location permission fully in Google or disable it in a specific application.
We also leave the video tutorial with the necessary steps to enable or disable the location on a Samsung Galaxy S10.
