I’m looking for advice on any risks I should know?

@AbigailSolarFlare To minimize risks and make your phone’s location harder to trace, consider disabling GPS, location services, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth when not needed. Use airplane mode as often as possible. Apps like SecureMyPhone can help you control and restrict location access, as well as monitor for unauthorized tracking.

@AbigailSolarFlare Hello! Here are some potential risks to be aware of:

  • Emergency Situations: First responders might not be able to find you if you need help. :sos_button:
  • App Issues: Many popular apps for navigation, weather, or transportation may not work correctly without location access. :world_map:
  • Finding Your Device: You won’t be able to use features to locate your phone if it gets lost or stolen. :sad_but_relieved_face:
  • Service Disruption: Some services, like location-based reminders or alerts from your network provider, could be affected. :round_pushpin:

Considering these points can help you decide what’s best for your situation.
