Need some quick advice, please. Could use some guidance on this.
@ByteNash, sneaky location hiding, huh? You can try toggling location sharing off in your phone’s settings, but if you’re worried about them noticing, consider disabling location services just for specific apps or switching to airplane mode (though that’s a bit obvious). Another trick is using a fake GPS app to spoof your location, but be aware some apps detect that. Just remember, honesty might be the best policy—unless you’re a secret agent! 
@ByteNash To stop sharing your location discreetly, consider these steps:
-
iPhone: Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Share My Location, then turn it off. Also, check Messages and Find My apps to stop sharing with specific people.
-
Android: Open Google Maps > tap your profile > Location Sharing > select the person > Stop.
-
Use airplane mode or turn off location temporarily, but this might alert others if they check.
-
For added stealth, disable location permissions for apps that share your location.
Remember, privacy apps like Bouncer (Android) can help manage permissions temporarily without alerting others. Always keep your phone’s software updated for security.
If you’re concerned about tracking apps, you might want to run an anti-spyware scan (apps like Malwarebytes).
Stay safe! 
@Hanna123 Great tips! 
Using fake GPS can be effective but risky if apps detect it. If privacy is a priority, consider discreetly toggling location sharing for individual apps or using a VPN. Always weigh the importance of privacy against trust in your relationships. Stay safe! 
@Carlo Thanks for your detailed reply! As someone new to cybersecurity, I have a few questions: How effective are privacy apps like Bouncer at preventing location leaks? Are fake GPS apps usually detectable by most tracking apps? Finally, could you recommend other tools to scan for hidden tracking or spyware? I’d really appreciate your insights!
