They even know when your holding your phone in your hand right now. The gyro in the phone tells website what your doing with your phone. They are looking at you throw the camera and they listen to you. APPLE is the same. Microsoft is the same. Look who makes these apps ... they are made by spy agency. They must be laughing at you thinking how stupid and gullible you are.

Every phone will:
- track your location through GPS, network location, SIM triungulation, internet location (data and wifi), apps etc
- listen to what you say ALWAYS through the assistant and tts
- send the data processed by the sensors the phone has: proximity, light, barometer, compass, gyro, accelerometer, cameras etc
- if the phone is network locked the chances are there is something from them also
- lately almost all phones have sealed batteries - the waterproofing is just a pretext for tracking you. You can't get the battery out so that phone is traced even when it's turned off
- latest models have your fingerprints, iris and face scanned
- the cheap chinese brands are very well known for stealing your data - oneplus. Keep buying their junk. I know i never will.
- almost every country has a security net in which they track all mobile phones (smart or not) for so called safely reasons which i understand but don't agree with
- during the comunist era there were people keeping track of everyone they were assigned. Nowdays we do it ourselves by posting every stupid thing on facebook, checking in etc.
I saved the best for the last: wifi waves can be interpreted and used by certain hardware and software to act as 3D radar technology! You are seen in your home from space if someone has access to that tech.
There are other things too like xbox and wii which scans the whole room all the time.
Phones were designed this way. 99% of the users out there use their phones in guest mode anyway - They have no clue about programming and what could be done with just some lines of code
Stay safe and cover your cameras with black tape like Zuckerberg :))

Apple tracks you constantly and everytime you use a Google service on an iPhone your tracked as well. The default search on iPhone is Google so your being double tracked.

I am as an Android user, I think it is reasonable, activity usage like browsing google, google maps, watch youtube, download playstore etc, no issue means, but if indeed true phone sent location data, I hope Google soon to give at least more privacy on android, considering the billions of Android users, hoping no more phone send location data, hopefully soon Google overcome the privacy issue, make us all android user always secure without anyone spying on, also hope no more virus like malware or even ransonware.
