Ok, this is going to be really creepy but it’s good to know! My teacher told me this in Highschool quite a few years ago and it blew my mind. If you have a smart phone there is a very good chance that all your movements have been tracked. I’m talking where you went, what time you got there and how long you were there! That might already sound weird but apparently this information is not shared with anyone else. It’s supposedly stored and saved though. There are two ways you can check for this on your phone. It depends if you have an iPhone or an android.
Tracking Were You’ve Been
Android
- Open Google Maps
- Tap on your profile
- Tap Timeline
Apple
- Go to settings
- Tap privacy
- Tap Location Services
- Tap system services
- Tap significant locations
A snapshot of the places I've been in the past few years
I have an Android phone and I find it more interesting then scary. You can literally go back years and see everywhere you’ve been on any day. It even tells you if you were walking, biking or even what pictures you took that day. Now there are ways to turn off these services but I leave mine on. I find it handy and as I said kind of interesting! What do you think? Is this weird or interesting? Are you going to turn your off?
