Headline for today
Hello! I'm shizumi autumn。
The idea that a mobile phone would not reveal its movements without opening a map and sending a location on its own initiative is not sound. When you do short videos, play small games, and read information, a lot of software will quietly get position information from the backstage and accumulate over time, so you can collage your daily travel routes, your usual place of residence, your frequent shopping malls and hospitals. Not to say that the software must be malicious, but its location is important personal information and much more is collected, not only through a large number of targeted advertisements, but also by leaving an opportunity for telecommunications fraud and door-to-door harassment once information flows out. The e-mail and security services have also repeatedly cautioned that access is based on the principle of minimum necessity, that it should not be granted, and that it should not be released。
Here's a simple common sense: even if you turn off the gps gps gps switch, it's still possible for your cell phone to pass a general determination of your location through the nearby wi-fi cell station. Many know only gps, but ignore the other two more easily ignored tracks. Gps is satellite-based and highly accurate; the wi-fi scan is that even if you are not connected to the wireless network, a mobile phone can identify the perimeter router signal by opening the scan and calculate where you might be compared to the database; the base station locates on the cell tower, with a lower accuracy, but can lock in your section. These three fold together are the reasons why many software is able to send local advertisements without opening maps. And what we're going to close is not just the gps switch, but the focus is on the backstage, the precise location, the wi-fi scans, the easily neglected options。
First of all, the central permission option: “always allow positioning”, which is also the priority switch to process. This permission means that even if the software goes backstage and you don't open it, it can read your location anytime. There are very few software that really requires this permission, and only long-term navigation, track recording, etc., can be used. Like short video software, shopping platforms, reading software, leisure games, wallpaper tools, there is no need to keep knowing where you are backstage. When many software windows are installed, direct permission is induced, and most people agree with it without paying any attention to whether authorization is “permissible during use” or “always permitted”。
The right choice is generally of two kinds: either never allowed or only during the use of the app. It means that only when you start the software on your own initiative will it be able to get a place on a temporary basis, and when you cut it out, it will not be able to continue reading. This neither delayed normal use nor cut backstage channels for continuous tracking。
The next step in operating the apple and andre mobile phones separately is a self-contained setup of the system, without downloading any third-party clean-up, anti-tracking software, or third-party tools themselves, which may require a large amount of permission, which increases risk。
Applephone operating path: open settings, find privacy and safety, access location services. The page lists all software on your mobile phone that has applied for location privileges and opens the page to each point. Priority will be given to changing games, information, wallpapers, photo-based software to never allowed; out-of-pocket, cabling, maps, etc., will be required, will be allowed during the use of the app and will be avoided as far as possible. The system service, which is located in an important location, will record silently where you have been, for a long time, and will recommend that it be shut down directly, along with location-based advertising and location sharing-related switches. The camera location will also be shut down separately, otherwise the photograph will be taken with its own coordinates and the original map will be sent to someone who can see the location directly。
The names of the different types of brand menus in anjo are slightly different and are broadly the same: open settings, find privacy or access management boards, and enter location information. In addition to adjusting the app positioning privileges, focus on wlan scans and bluetooth scans in advanced settings. Many android mobile phones are automatically turned on, even if the wi-fi switch is off, scanning is still running, collecting information on the surrounding hotspots, which is the key reason why many people turn off gps and can be broadly located and shut down when they are not needed. Similarly, the location mark in the camera access is closed, the original picture already taken in the album is closed, and it is advisable to check the details page before sending it and delete the attached location information。
In addition to the system's privileges, there are several routines, which are equally linked to location leakage, and many are vulnerable to leakage. First, social software does not simply send original maps, the coordinates attached to the original maps do not automatically disappear, and the transcribs are much safer; second, do not simply click on strange links, authorize small programs to locate, and a number of small programs will not automatically take back privileges once they have run out; third, software with urban, local flow-like software, if used rarely at normal times, can simply close the location and unload it when it is not needed; and fourth, family-sharing functions, if not often required to look after each other, do not need to open them for long periods and stop sharing in a timely manner。
We don't have to go to the other extreme. Turn everything off. Positioning is just needed and reasonable authorization can make life easier. The idea at the heart of our set-up is not simply to move away from positioning, but to be open as needed, to give it the authority to do what it needs, without giving it any additional privileges. The navigation software opens the position while you are driving, and it can't follow after exit; it takes a position once on the take-out and does not read it after exit, which is to minimize authorization。
It is also important to make a distinction that the closure of these access lines does not affect the normal access of mobile phones to the telephone, the internet, the ability of mobile phones to change cards and the ability to search them. The search device is a system security feature, and the location rights of the third party app are two separate sets, which closes app and does not affect the remote locking and retrieval of the device after you lose your mobile phone。
