Android Not only is it the most widely used mobile operating system in the world, it is in countries like Spain its presence represents almost a monopoly, and is that approximately 85 percent of smart mobile phone users in the country are tied to Android. This is how Google has made its operating system almost a religion.
However, such power has good things and sometimes it also has bad things. A clear example is that Google has recently confirmed that it does not care if you have the location activated or not, it knows where you are at all times ... how do they do it?
Google guarantees that the user is always located, that means that among other things, the company Don´t be evil leverages this data to collect it and then sell it to create market patterns. However… did you think you were "safe" if you disabled localization? Nothing is further from reality. Google takes advantage of antenna triangulation systems to know where we are at all times. This has been discovered by the boys of Quartz and the surprising response that Google has given to such a discovery will certainly not leave you indifferent.
According to Google, it is important to know where we are at all times in order to improve the speed with which messages and push notifications are delivered to us. This is the reason that leads Google to have us located as a true Big Brother on a universal scale. In fact, they have not provided any details of how this really influences the improvement of the service. In the meantime, what you should know is that you will not be able to get rid of this triangulation location system, so, If you are deactivating the location, that is because of the battery saving that it supposes, because Google is constantly locating you in the same way.
