位置是谷歌^(Google)在其产品中使用的重要因素之一。如果您曾经想过Google是如何知道实时交通位置的，那完全是因为您的位置一直在被跟踪。

也就是说，这是一个有趣的事实。即使您关闭位置访问历史记录，Google仍然可以跟踪您。每次打开请求位置的应用程序时都会发生这种情况。谷歌地图^{(Google Maps)}在许多应用程序中被广泛使用，尤其是送餐^{(Food Delivery)}，谷歌^(Google)有自己的方式知道是你。在这篇文章中，我们将研究一种可以阻止Google跟踪位置历史记录^{(Location History)}的方法。

阻止 Google^{(Stop Google)}跟踪位置记录^{(Location History)}

关于用户选择关闭位置访问权限的有趣事实之一是他们看不到位置历史记录，但这并不能阻止Google看到它。如果您想完全关闭位置跟踪，则需要更改您的 Google 帐户中的设置。

1. 打开您的 Google 帐户。^{(your Google Account.)}
2. 导航^(Navigate)到隐私^(Privacy)和个性化 >活动^(Activity)控件 >  管理^(Manage)您的活动^(Activity) 控件^(Controls)
3. 找到网络^{(Locate Web)}和应用活动^{(App Activity)}并将其关闭

网络^(Web)和应用活动^{(App Activity)}记录会保存您在Google网站和应用（例如Google 相册^{(Google Photos)}、地图^(Maps)和其他地方）上的活动。虽然它看起来与位置无关，但搜索结果很多时候都是基于位置的，它适用于任何地方。根据Google 帮助^{(Google Help)}页面，当Web & App Activity开启时，Google会保存以下信息：

• 您在Google产品和服务（例如Google地图^(Maps)和Play ）上进行的搜索和其他操作^(Play)
• 您的位置、语言、IP 地址、推荐人，以及您使用浏览器还是应用程序
• 您点击的广告^(Ads)，或您在广告商网站上购买的商品
• 您设备上的信息，例如您最近搜索过的应用或联系人姓名

有趣的是，即使您处于离线状态，也可以保存活动。当您关闭时，Google会提供一个临时暂停选项，但如果您真的想阻止，请确保将其关闭。

说白了就是狡猾。那些知之甚少的人会关闭位置并对此感到高兴，但这并不能解决目的。虽然关闭Web和App Activity是一种更好的方法，但老实说，除非被发现，否则很难弄清楚你在哪里以及如何被跟踪。

Web和App Activity还提供了自动删除功能^{(auto-deletion feature)}，可以删除过去 3 个月或 18 个月的所有位置痕迹，但更像是您无法访问它们。谷歌无处表示它已从他们的服务器中删除。

最后，谷歌^(Google)需要位置访问，如果你对被跟踪非常谨慎，请继续关闭你不断发现新事物的任何东西。但是，请注意，由于位置是用来改善体验的，所以事情可能会在您的最后开始变得不那么相关。

How to stop Google from Tracking Location History

Locаtion is one of the essential factors which Google uses acrosѕ its products. If yоu ever thought аbout how Google knоws real-time traffic location, then it’s all because yоur location is being tracked аll the time.

That said, here is an interesting fact. Even if you turn off location access history, Google can still track you. That happens every time you open an application that requests a location. Google Maps is used vastly on many apps, especially Food Delivery, and Google has its way to know that it’s you. In this post, we will look into a way that can stop Google from Tracking Location History.

Stop Google from Tracking Location History

One of the interesting facts about the users choosing to run off location access is that they cant see location history, but that doesn’t stop Google from seeing it. If you want to turn off location tracking completely, then you need to change a setting in your Google Account.

1. Open your Google Account.
2. Navigate to Privacy and personalization > Activity controls >  Manage Your Activity Controls
3. Locate Web & App Activity and toggle it off

The Web and App Activity saves your activity on Google sites and apps like Google Photos, Maps, and other places. While it may seem it has nothing to do with location, but search results are many a time based on location, and it applies everywhere. According to Google Help page, when Web & App Activity is on, Google saves information like:

• Searches and other things you do on Google products and services, like Maps and Play
• Your location, language, IP address, referrer, and whether you use a browser or an app
• Ads you click, or things you buy on an advertiser’s site
• Information on your device like recent apps or contact names you searched for

The interesting part that even when you are offline, the activity could be saved. When you toggle off, Google offers a temporary pause option, but if you truly want to block, make sure it turned off.

That’s cunning to be blunt. Those who are little aware would turn off location and be happy about it, but that doesn’t solve the purpose.  While turning off Web and App Activity is a better approach, but to be very honest, it is difficult to figure out where and how you are being tracked unless discovered.

Web and App Activity also offers an auto-deletion feature that can remove all the traces of locations of pas three or 18 months, but then it’s more like they are not accessible to you. Google nowhere says it’s removed from their server.

In the end, Google needs location access, and if you are very cautious about getting tracked, keep turning off of whatever you keep finding something new. However, be warned, since location is used for improving experiences, things might start looking not-so-relevant at your end.
