21:34 26 July 2015

Google has introduced an app that allows users to track and store their every movement, minute by minute. Although the app is welcomed by many, some would simply want to turn it off. If you’re one of them, you can disable the Your Timeline feature by following these steps:

 

On android

 

- Open App drawer, select Settings then Location.

- Find Google Location Settings and individually switch off both Location Reporting and Location History.

- Underneath Location History, select ‘Delete Location History’ to wipe clean the cache of locations.

- You need to remember to do this for every Google account you have registered.

 

On iPhone

- Open Settings, select Privacy and then Location Services

- Either disable all Location Services using the slider at the top, or scroll through the list to decide on a case-by-case basis which apps you want to allow.

- Right at the bottom select ‘System Services’ and decide what features you want to allow.
