Google used millions of Android phones to map the worst enemy of GPS

The problem

For years, Google has been using a fleet of millions of Android phones to map the world. The data collected from these phones has been used to create Google Maps, one of the most popular navigation apps in the world.

However, a new study has found that the data collected from these phones is also being used to track the location of users, even when they are not using Google Maps.

The study, which was conducted by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, found that Google is collecting data from Android phones even when the GPS is turned off. This data includes the phone's location, as well as the time and date.

The solution

Google has not yet commented on the study, but it is likely that the company will face pressure to change its data collection practices.

In the meantime, users can protect their privacy by disabling the location tracking feature on their Android phones.

Here are the steps on how to disable location tracking on an Android phone:

1. Open the Settings app.

2. Tap on "Location."

3. Tap on the "Location services" switch to turn it off.
