Security Tip: Turn Off Location Sharing for Apps That Don’t Need It

Many apps request access to your location even when it’s not essential to their function. Over time, this can expose your movements, drain battery life, and create unnecessary privacy risks—especially if an app is sold, compromised, or poorly maintained.

How to stay safe: Set most apps to “While Using” or disable location access entirely. Only navigation, weather, and ride‑share apps typically need real‑time location data.
