Wherever we go, smartphones constantly detect our location. So no one knows when and where we are, but the phone with us knows exactly. To get rid of this problem, many people turn off the location facility on the phone. But even if the location facility is turned off, Google continues to secretly collect phone location information using several techniques. That is, wherever we go, the company collects our location information. Let's know the tricks by which Google secretly collects phone location information.
Location Google
IP address
All devices including phones use a specific IP (Internet Protocol) address when using the Internet. By reviewing this IP address, Google collects the phone's location and internet usage history.
Bluetooth
Using the phone's Bluetooth signal, Google collects the location of the phone through other devices around.
Mobile tower
While using the internet through the mobile network, the phone is connected to nearby mobile towers. Therefore, Google detects the location of the phone by analyzing the signal of the mobile tower.
Wi-Fi network database
Google collects information about phone users as well as creates a database of the Wi-Fi networks they use. As a result, the company can quickly identify the location of the phone without GPS.
Wi-Fi network
The location information of the phone can be identified through the signal of the router and access point connected to the Wi-Fi network. As a result, when connected to a Wi-Fi network, Google collects the location information of the phone by reviewing the signal strength as well as the positional information of that network.
