I used to think my phone's location history was just for traffic apps.
Last month, I saw an ad for a coffee shop I'd only visited once, in a different city, and it freaked me out. I checked my Google Timeline and it had logged my exact route from the airport to the hotel, which I never agreed to track. How do you even start turning all that stuff off for good?

My old iPhone tracked me to a specific hiking trail I never even searched for online.

Yeah but @elizabeth900, your phone probably just saw you were near that trail from GPS, not that you searched for it.
