inked3 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I just recently got a new phone; alcatel onetouch Evolve 2. It's OS is android 4.4 kit Kat.The last new smartphone I got was over 7 years ago so I'm completely lost with the advancements made.Yesterday I was looking up pics for ending stigma about mental health on Google. This morning when I looked at my phone there was a pop up on the lock screen from Google (not sure which app) of a local mental health facility including transportation time to the facility with current traffic. WTF?I'm guessing it's something to do with Google "watching" my activity within it's products but I don't feel comfortable with it doing something like this... What do I need to do so it's not watching my every move? I always prompt out of anything that wants to track anything I do or get my location unless I'm manually putting in a location (to get local weather or whatnot)Help?

jt07 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I have Kit Kat on a tablet. Go into settings and turn off location services. It might just be called location. Also, have a look under "Privacy" to see what you can change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
