Keep Location Sharing ON? Your every movement can be monitored, know 5 big dangers

For your information, let us tell you that many companies use your location to know which places you visit and what kind of things you are interested in. Based on this, you are continuously shown targeted ads. This leads to commercial use of your personal information.

If for some reason your account or device gets hacked, your live location may reach the wrong people. With this, cyber criminals can keep an eye on your activity and try to commit fraud or other crimes.

Let us tell you that if Location Sharing is always on, then many apps can know when you leave the house, where you go and for how long you stay at a place. With this, the complete pattern of your daily activity can be prepared which is a big threat to your privacy.

Apart from this, if your location reaches any unknown person or an app which is not safe, then it can be guessed whether you are at home or outside. Such information can be misused for theft or other crimes. Therefore, location should be shared only with trusted people.

Let us tell you that due to the location service being continuously running, the GPS of the phone remains active again and again. Due to this, the battery of the smartphone also drains very fast and some apps also use more internet data in the background. This can also affect the performance of the phone.

Let us tell you that if you also want to avoid such dangers, then turn on Location Sharing only when needed. Give limited location permissions to apps like While Using the App. Keep checking the app permissions of the phone from time to time. Remove permissions from apps that don’t require location. Share live location only with trusted people.
