The vast majority of smartphones have an antenna GPS that we used to use mapping applications such as Google Maps that comes standard in all phones Android . The satellite locates us rather precisely and sets our location so we know where we are but we can also find routes to any direction. However, the location is also used in other of the system, such as camera Store Google Play and many other apps; from Facebook to Instagram or Twitter . Many users worry that register your location data, and that they know where you are all the time may not be the best in which cases as. For example it is not recommended to share the location of our house, but if we publish a photo with location will be enabled to do so indirectly. We tell all you need to know about the location on your Android phone and will share only the data you want.
As we were talking about the camera’s start there. When we look at a phone’s specifications, it is common to find the function geo-tagging or geo-location , this means that the camera will add location information to the image, and it is still in the EXIF data of the photo. To remove it you have to go to the Camera Settings Photo and remove this option, thus the photos do not have data on the place in which we find ourselves.
On the other hand, in the menu Settings Android is an option called Location , which is where we can share and configure what type of location you will use. The first thing we find is the option for turn off or on location , if you remove any application can access this information, even if it is configured that way. The next option that we find is the location mode, if you click here we see three other options. The first mode is high precision , which as its name suggests is that it will offer the most accurate location, the bad is that it uses the Antenna GPS, WiFi and the mobile network, so consumes more battery. The following option helps us save battery eliminating the option of antenna GPS and finally is GPS antenna only mode -the latter works but not tengams Internet. There is a widget Battery saving that allows you to enable and disable various connections, GPS between them. We can also change the GPS mode from here. Within the menu Location also find a list of applications that have accessed the location and reports location , which also can be deleted no problem.
Finally remember that there are applications that share location, such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram . In this case you will have configure separately to stop publishing the place where you find
