How often do you look around social media mindlessly? I&#8217;m sure more often than you can count. You can&#8217;t help yourself. Almost every app you use is meant to keep you riveted to your device&#8217;s screen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem is that enormous corporations profit from your reliance on the internet. They monitor your behavior and location history and collect personal information to sell to advertising businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These businesses have databases brimming with personal information. What if these databases are hacked? How easy may thieves acquire access to your most sensitive information? Learning how to make your phone untraceable goes a long way toward protecting your privacy and ensuring your security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s not always easy in this digital age, but we&#8217;ve compiled a list of seven basic tips to learn how to make your phone impossible to track. First and foremost, who is tracking you?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who is Tracking Your Phone?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2106\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/who-is-tracking-your-phone-online.png\" alt=\"Who is tracking your phone?\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/who-is-tracking-your-phone-online.png 800w, https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/who-is-tracking-your-phone-online-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/who-is-tracking-your-phone-online-768x480.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we can discuss how to avoid online monitoring, it&#8217;s vital to understand who might be tracking you. Following your private information, you will encounter four major types of people.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Cybercriminals<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cybercrime has reached epidemic proportions on a global scale. It&#8217;s understandable to desire to keep malevolent parties at bay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cybercriminals profit greatly from your data. They benefit from your private information:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malware will infect your gadget.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steal and misappropriate your financial information and banking accounts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make and sell counterfeit passports.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Impersonate you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manipulate you through adware.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To name a few examples, cyber dangers are constantly developing and adapting. Cybercriminals will seize any opportunity to snoop on you and steal your information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, you should always be on the lookout for symptoms that your phone or computer has been hacked.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Stalkers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although you may not like to think about it, sometimes people have unwanted people attempting to track their whereabouts and online activity. Stalkers are more than just people who follow you physically. People now <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/how-to-tell-if-someone-is-tracking-your-iphone\/\" data-abc=\"true\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">attempt to track you using your phone<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with tools such as find my phone or through your email accounts. It is imperative that you make every attempt to protect yourself from this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Advertisers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Previously, marketers had to do surveys, questionnaires, and trials to determine which products to pitch to whom. Nowadays, your web data brings that information to you on a silver platter. Your interests, hobbies, needs, desires, spending habits&#8230; They&#8217;re all out there, kept on data servers and tracked by cookies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is why businesses want your information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nowadays, advertising cannot live without customization. Finding out what makes you tick is critical to extracting money from you. However, this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avast.com\/c-what-is-ad-tracking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-abc=\"true\">makes tracking quite creepy<\/a>. Have you ever mentioned that you needed a new couch for someone and then had your Personal social Media page bombarded with couch ads? You are not alone in this. Anything too precise is an indication of tracking. This can include a local business, unusual hobbies, and tastes, or a unique service you require.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Employers and Government Agencies\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conspiracy theories have historically centered on government spying. While sophisticated microchips and mind-reading devices do not exist, technological advances have made it easier to collect and store user data. Population data, according to government agencies, is critical for national security. The issue is that they do not specify what information they acquire and how they collect it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While an internet service provider may have a privacy policy, governmental institutions are not always forthcoming. Google and Facebook, for example, routinely send over data to authorities. However, state security services never reveal how they utilize that data or if they have convicted anyone using it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Legislation lags behind technical progress. Most countries have rules that safeguard your private correspondence via letters and postcards, not via emails or text messages. Few laws are there to protect you from federal overreach, but they are more concerned with economic and social issues than with digital ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employers can view your phone&#8217;s internet activities. Especially if it&#8217;s a company phone and you&#8217;re connected to the network. Because a company phone uses data and voice time that the company pays for, they may wish to keep track of how it is utilized.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Can Someone Track Your Phone?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2107\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/how-can-someone-track-your-phone.png\" alt=\"How can someone track your phone?\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/how-can-someone-track-your-phone.png 800w, https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/how-can-someone-track-your-phone-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/how-can-someone-track-your-phone-768x480.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may simply determine whether or not your phone is being tracked by someone if you understand the indicators of the phone.

You must keep your personal information safe from all those mentioned above.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though the odds are stacked against you, you can still defend yourself. Here are seven simple tips to show you how to make your phone impossible to track:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Disable Google Location Tracking<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you don&#8217;t use spy applications, someone could still monitor you if they previously revealed your real-time position via Google location services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow the steps below to examine where you&#8217;re sharing your real-time location to make sure that&#8217;s not happening here.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open the Settings app.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose a Location<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select Google Location Sharing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You&#8217;ll then be able to see if you&#8217;re sharing your current location with anyone.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you discover that your location is being shared with an unknown person, you should cancel it as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can learn about it <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/accounts\/answer\/3118687?visit_id=637882127863196569-1354023254&amp;p=location_history&amp;hl=en&amp;rd=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-abc=\"true\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Disable Location Services in Your Device<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may not realize it, but your phone is being followed right now, if not by hackers, and by the apps you use. While not every app that receives access to your location data will use it against you, you should still be aware of which apps may access your location data and how they use it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you suspect that someone is tracking you, the first step is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/how-to-stop-sharing-location-on-iphone\/\" data-abc=\"true\">disable your device&#8217;s location tracking<\/a>. This prevents the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/free-cell-phone-tracker-apps-by-number\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"7\">tracker and any other app on your phone<\/a> from accessing your location data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To disable location services on Android &amp; iOS mobile phones, just disable the location shortcut in the Control Centre or Quick Settings panel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Otherwise, you can disable it by going to the Location section of your device&#8217;s Settings app.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don&#8217;t want to disable your Android device&#8217;s location for certain reasons, you can specify which apps can access location data and when they can access it:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Launch the Settings app.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select Location (or Security &amp; Location)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose App location access.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Determine which apps can access your location whenever you open them and which cannot.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Use a VPN App<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from knowing your location, the companies and websites you visit want to learn as much as they can about you. The only way to prevent this is to use a good VPN service. It will aid in preventing hackers and trackers from obtaining your IP address and precise location.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.security.org\/vpn\/best\/\" data-abc=\"true\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VPN apps<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with high ratings include NordVPN, Express VPN, and others. You may also get a free\u00a0virtual private network app from the Play Store, although they aren&#8217;t always as reliable as commercial ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Activate the Airplane Mode<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re suspicious that someone is following you, shutting off your internet connection is another way to get rid of the person. Even if your location is enabled, most spy programs require an active internet connection in order to send data to the tracker.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, enabling Airplane mode makes sense because it prevents the online service from accessing your status point when you&#8217;re offline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To disconnect from the network, visit your device&#8217;s Control Centre or Start Screen panel and select Airplane mode.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>What is Airplane Mode?<\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airplane mode is a smartphone and other various portable device settings. When triggered, this mode temporarily\u00a0stops the device&#8217;s radio-frequency signal transmission technology, effectively blocking all-analog speech and digital data services if the electronic device software author implements it correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>How to Activate Airplane Mode on iPhone?<\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tap from the Home screen of your iPhone.

You can also swipe down once with two fingers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the grid, look for the Airplane mode toggle. If you don&#8217;t see it, you may have to slide to the side to see more icons.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you press the toggle, your Android phone enters airplane mode.

There&#8217;s also the risk that the sites are being used by hackers and identity thieves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might be shocked at how much information these websites collect and what can be found in a <a href=\"https:\/\/startup.info\/8-risks-of-giving-out-cell-phone-number-to-strangers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-abc=\"true\">person&#8217;s search website<\/a> report.

You might also conduct an internet generic search for your name or details.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The websites may provide some basic information and may even indicate what is accessible in a paid report. However, you may not be able to obtain a full report (even your own) without the need to pay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to visit the people finder websites and go to the \u201cRemove My Info\u201d form to remove your data.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Use a Private Browser\/Incognito Mode<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Users of PCs or laptops are already familiar with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rswebsols.com\/tutorials\/internet\/incognito-private-browsing-history\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-abc=\"true\">private web browsers<\/a>. These browsers are less common and allow you to search the internet anonymously.

At the end of each session, this program also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyorbit.com\/blog\/how-to-delete-incognito-history\/\" data-abc=\"true\">deletes your browsing history<\/a> and passwords. You can use private and incognito modes in the mobile versions of Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don&#8217;t want to use a mobile browser affiliated with huge data brokers, you can use a third-party program like Dolphin browser.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also use the Samsung Internet app if you have a Samsung device. This browser has an ad tracking blocker that prohibits third-party websites from tracking your online activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other browsers, such as DuckDuckGo and Yippy, do not track you as actively as Google.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see there are many ways how you can make your phone impossible to track.
