Fighting back
There are multiple settings that phone users must choose to close off the constant leaking of their locations.
For users of either Android or iOS, the first step is to audit which apps currently have permission to access the device location. This can be done on Android by accessing Settings > Location > App location permissions and, on iOS, Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services.
Android users who want to block intrusive location gathering have more settings to change than iOS users.
The first thing to do is access Settings > Security & Privacy > Ads and choose “Delete advertising ID.”
Then, promptly ignore the long, scary warning Google provides and hit the button confirming the decision at the bottom. If you don’t see that setting, good for you. It means you already deleted it. Google provides documentation here.

iOS, by default, doesn’t give apps access to “Identifier for Advertisers,” Apple’s version of the unique tracking number assigned to iPhones, iPads, and AppleTVs. Apps, however, can display a window asking that the setting be turned on, so it’s useful to check.
iPhone users can do this by accessing Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. Any apps with permission to access the unique ID will appear.
While there, users should also turn off the “Allow Apps to Request to Track” button. While in iOS Privacy & Security, users should navigate to Apple Advertising and ensure Personalized Ads is turned off.
