Here&#8217;s The Truth"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was a lot of fear online once people found out their precise location is being tracked by social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram 24 hrs a day. Most people&#8217;s main concern with these tracking features is that their data might fall into the wrong hands, or that Instagram itself is secretly using their data for nefarious means. In this article, we&#8217;ll look at whether there is any truth behind these concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-does-your-phone-track-your-exact-location\">Does Your Phone Track Your Exact Location?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, it&#8217;s true, your phone does track your exact location. But if you think about the modern conveniences that we all enjoy through our phones, it becomes clear why. Your phone tracks your location in order to be able to deliver the services you need. Uber, for instance, would not know where to send a car to pick you up. Doordash wouldn&#8217;t know where to deliver your food, and your GPS wouldn&#8217;t know how to get you where you want to go. So your phone allows precise location data in order to allow for all of these things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/nathana-reboucas-x9WGMWwp1NM-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/nathana-reboucas-x9WGMWwp1NM-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/nathana-reboucas-x9WGMWwp1NM-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/nathana-reboucas-x9WGMWwp1NM-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/nathana-reboucas-x9WGMWwp1NM-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/nathana-reboucas-x9WGMWwp1NM-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/nathana-reboucas-x9WGMWwp1NM-unsplash-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/nathana-reboucas-x9WGMWwp1NM-unsplash-1250x833.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/wp.socialcatfish.cloud\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/nathana-reboucas-x9WGMWwp1NM-unsplash-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"why-does-instagram-and-facebook-need-to-track-your-location\" class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Why Does Instagram and Facebook Need To Track Your Location?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instagram and Facebook track your location in order to enhance your experience on the platforms. Some of the things tracking makes possible are filters, stickers on stories, and other such features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"why-people-are-alarmed-by-this\" class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Why People Are Alarmed by This <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although platforms often have a good reason for tracking you, some say that Instagram and Facebook&#8217;s tracking features are a bit excessive, with the platforms tracking your location around the clock. This goes far beyond the usefulness of these apps because there is little value in having Instagram or Facebook know where you are at all times. So you might be someone who wants to get rid of this setting. We&#8217;ll dive into how to do so below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-turn-off-location-settings-on-iphone\" class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">How to Turn Off Location Settings On iPhone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;ve looked at this information and you&#8217;re not comfortable with Instagram knowing where you are at all times, here is the simple process of turning off precise tracking on these apps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Open the &#8220;Settings&#8221; app <\/li><li>Scroll down until you see the app you want to turn off precise location tracking for<\/li><li>If you have location data turned on, you&#8217;ll see the &#8220;location&#8221; icon.
