Maybe? I haven't actually looked.

I don't have constant monitoring in, because the survey app keeps bugging me about it every couple of weeks.

This also feels like some miscommunication: there's been find my device for ages, but apparently the new system also uses other nearby Android devices to anonymously ping it.

My phone likes to ask me to set it up every now and then but I've just ignored it as I assumed it needed my location on to function. I should look - Krusty Jun 18, 05:54 5

- why don't you want location on? in case you commit murder or something? -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 18, 06:02 3
  - It's a rather big drain on the battery and I don't like the idea of my phone tracking me everywhere I go. It's already listening to me. - Krusty Jun 18, 06:52
  - right? especially because it's pretty advanced now on android and you can tailor it for every app -- nm - decline Jun 18, 06:13 1
    - mine is pretty much on. I know I'm super cavalier. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 mandy chem 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 18, 06:50
