Hahaha (Lol) when Google CEO was being grilled by the congress said he needs to check on the Judge's iPhone when asked the question if he was being tracked by Google:)
Lol that's been proven wrong, so now the judge should consider grilling Apple similarly.

I really thought this was an article about how, through packed data intercepted or something like that, somebody discovered that Apple is using the gps to send data without you to know.
But no. Its a video from youtube in which the guy forgot to disable the location services option entirely...

There is no device that is connected to internet or have gps built in the device that is spy free. Even when you can turn these options off, there is still ways to spy on everyone. No company on earth will admit that there product is spying on you cause then nobody will want there product. They all know that it's possible and just dont say it or admit it. It's just a bit dumb to think you can get modern technology that dont spy on you. Use your tinfoil hat if your so paranoid.

Let’s make that 3 things he didn’t turn off, LOL!
1. Location Services
2. Location Alerts
3. Share My Location
He literally did not put much thought into this in his rush to create clickbait, 3 major switches are still on. :’D
The more I watch the video the more I pick up how much he has missed.
He must be an Android fan boy looking for clout.

[deleted post]And that is the problem. There are HIDDEN services that use your location and CAN'T be turned off individually. You unknown what services are so if the main switch is ON you can't avoid those services send your location individually. What services are those that are HIDDEN? That is the question!!!

GAMIRSFM, 04 Dec 2019Then GSMArena should remove the article. That would be misl... moreGSMArena don’t care about facts they want to create clickbait.
ANOTHER note on this video, the guy did not turn off Location Alerts either, that feature is on by default and sits right under Location Services, LOL! So there are two crucial settings he left out.
This is the problem with tech journalism these days, these guys just jump to conclusions without actually doing some real digging and looking closer.
Devil is ALWAYS in the detail.
