What settings are considered harmful on the Android OS
Monday, October 17, 2022
Many will agree with the statement that only robots are smarter than phones. But we all still don’t have enough money for them, so we have to make do with smartphones. But no matter how they are advertised and promoted, there are settings that work against the user. Let’s look at the example of the Android OS.
Harmful settings slow down the smartphone, track your location even when geolocation is turned off. In addition, they are secret assistants for developers to track all actions on established provisions.
We suggest you follow all the steps we have given:
- Go to the main settings. Look for the Google tab. It opens the way to account settings.
- Go to “Manage Google Account”. There you need to find “Privacy and Personalization”. And then “Data and privacy management”. Find location history.
- Until we turn off the location history.
- We are looking for a plus icon and all tracking settings are open.
- The action will take you to a menu with icons of various applications.
- From this menu, you can understand that not only the location is tracked, but also the use of programs, consumer habits. Such tracking affects the battery charge.
- To disable tracking, go back to the very first menu with icons. Find the “Disable/Pause” button. The measure will stop the uploading of information by Google to the server.
- Back to Data & Privacy Management. Find “Ad Personalization”. Advertisements may seem interesting to some, but, in fact, they appear after monitoring absolutely all actions in the phone. From the notifications you’ve received to who you’ve texted. Google knows more about our lives than we do.
- In the “Ads Personalization” menu, disable the slider. Such a shutdown will allow you to keep the charge longer, the phone itself will heat up less. His work will speed up, and you will appreciate how the behavior of the phone changes after stopping tracking the developers.
A separate camera setup hack
- Go to the settings, scroll to the very bottom. You need to go to the “Location” tab.
- Then we click on “Access to applications to geodata”. Select the camera. We select the “Prohibit” value.
- Return to the main settings of the phone. Write the word “Cameras” in the top search bar. Click on the first result of the issue “Camera settings”. We find “Autostart”, turn off the toggle.
