Briefly

Smartphones serve as essential organizational tools, yet they also pose privacy risks by collecting personal data and location information.

Apple and Android devices offer different methods for managing these settings, emphasizing the importance of user control over their personal data.
Darren Guccione of Keeper Security advises users to only activate location tracking during essential activities and to turn it off immediately afterwards.
