Mobile phones are equipped with GPS location services to offer associated information, entertainment, or security. Location services on your phone can help to find a lost device, get useful prompts, check/share real-time addresses, and more. However, some apps, ad companies, and even hackers may also access the geodata. Surely you don't want others to spy on your cell phone. This post tells you how to stop someone from tracking your phone in detail.
Many solutions can help you stop people from tracking your phone. For instance, you can choose to power off your phone, turn on Airplane mode, lock your SIM card, remove unfamiliar apps, clear browser history and cookies, and others. But these operations may also affect the normal working of your device. To effectively prevent others from spying on your cell phone, you can disable location services.
To turn off the location services on an iOS device like an iPhone or iPad, you can enter the Settings app, select Privacy, and then tap on Location Services. When you enter the main Location Services interface, you can choose to disable all location services or customize the permissions of some specific apps.
As an Android user, you should also go to the Settings app and find the Location option to adjust the location sharing. In some Android devices, you need to tap the Connections or Privacy tab to access the Location option. Similar to turning off location services on an iOS device, you can choose to shut down all location services or just prevent some apps from using your locations.
To effectively stop someone from tracking your location, you can also choose to set a fake location for your iPhone or Android phone. This part will guide you through setting fake locations on an iPhone and Android phone separately.
When you want to fake your real location on an iPhone or iPad, you can use the easy-to-use GPS location changer, AnyCoord. It is specially designed to change your iPhone location for different needs. It can help you change your current location to any place you like. With its help, you can prevent someone from spying on your cell phone.
