Both Android and iPhone devices have built-in features that track and store your location history, which can be useful for finding lost devices or recalling past trips. However, if you're concerned about privacy, it's important to know how to access, manage, and delete this data. Here's how you can do that on both platforms:
On Android, location history is stored through Google’s Location History feature linked to your Google account. You can view it through Google Maps > Your Timeline, where you’ll see your visited places, routes, and dates. To manage this, go to Settings > Google > Location and disable or delete specific entries, or turn off the entire Location History feature. You can also adjust app permissions to control which apps access your location.
On iPhones, location data is stored under Significant Locations. To view this, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations. You’ll see a list of frequently visited places, and you can delete the data or turn off the feature by toggling off Significant Locations in the same menu.
Alternatively, you can use mSafely, a comprehensive phone monitoring app that provides advanced location tracking features. With mSafely, you can:
● Track location history across multiple devices.
● Set geofencing alerts to know when a device enters or leaves specific areas.
● Monitor real-time location with detailed history logs.
mSafely offers an easy-to-use interface and enhanced privacy settings, making it an excellent choice for managing your location data securely. Whether for personal use or keeping an eye on family members’ devices, mSafely provides a robust solution for all your phone tracking needs.
For added privacy, review and manage location permissions regularly. Disabling Location History and limiting which apps can access your location will help protect your data while still allowing you to use location-based services when needed.
