3. Adjust settings to turn off tracking and manage location-related services.

Delete activity:
1. On the My Google Activity page, click on "Delete activity" in the left-hand menu.
2. Choose a time period or custom range and delete your activity.

Stop Google tracking on an Android device:
1. In Settings, search for "Activity controls" or navigate to More privacy settings > Activity controls.
2. Select the Google account to manage.
3. Turn off or pause various activities, set auto-delete, and manage your timeline.

Turn location tracking on and off from Quick Settings:
1. Swipe down twice from the top of the screen.
2. Find the Location button in the Quick Settings tray, and arrange it for easy access.

Disable location tracking for a specific app:

2. Tap on "App location permissions" or "App permissions."
3. Adjust location permissions for each app as needed.

Delete your location history using Google Maps:
*On your Android phone:*
