Do you know how many applications are tracking and sharing your location in the background?
Apps often require consent to access GPS Location but it is not always clear why, when your location is being tracked, who has access to this data, and what other information it is linked to.
To find out what Android applications are tracking your location in the background go to:
"Settings" -> "Apps" -> "Permission manager" -> "Location" and check "ALLOWED ALL THE TIME"
