People are now more alert about privacy than before. This is why many people keep GPS off in their mobile and other gadgets so that Google or anyone else cannot track them.

However many people do not know that Google can track your location even without GPS. If you want to avoid this, then you will have to turn off many functions of the smartphone other than GPS.

Wi-Fi positioning
We think that if GPS is off then Google cannot track our location, but Google can easily track your exact location from the WiFi network. When you connect your device to WiFi, Google tracks you from the location there.

Cell tower triangulation
Google can easily track your location with the help of the network tower of the smartphone. Actually, now telecom companies have installed mobile towers to provide a strong network in every corner of the country, with the help of which Google can find your location anytime.

IP address
Even after GPS is turned off, Google can track the location with the help of the IP address of your device network. Let us tell you that with the help of an IP address, Google can easily track your location. For this, Google does not need high-speed internet. Google can track your location even with a very low-speed internet connection.

How to stop Google tracking through the browser?
First of all, Google has to be stopped from collecting your data. For this, go to the settings of your Google browser, here you will see the option of Google Activity by clicking on My Activity. Next you will see Web and App Activity, YouTube History, and Location History. By going to all these options, you can stop Google's tracking.
