the timeline is what got me to turn it off in the first place. I know where i went, i was there. I don't need anyone to tell me where i've been, because i don't drink like that anymore!

Always have it off, but mostly because it saves battery.

I do the same as you, OP. I'm not convinced it really does anything though.

Me. But I know Google and the NSA track me through a billion and a half other means regardless.

honestly, lately, I've been looking for a way to keep both sides of my phone covered at all times, since it has 2 cameras, and a decent FOV on each. not much i can do about the mics but keep it in a room separate.

i removed facebook from my phone long ago, as soon as the permissions for the app went to (vaguely) sharing EVERYTHING, including access to my camera and microphone.

I turned it and geotagging photos off, although I assume that it still tracks me for mobile data and wi-fi.

Not that I care all that much about tracking me over wi-fi. I only access it in my house, and google already knows that from all the times I've looked up directions.

Location is only on for directions and sharing my coordinates (when someone wants directions to my location)... the drop pin thing.

Google stores your location history when location services are used. Turn it off here:

Settings, Google, Personal info & privacy, Activity controls.

I honsetly don't care. I only turn it off because it kills my battery life, rather fast. If they want to track me, let them. Why? Because at futher date, its nice to go back and see where. Or what i did. Kinda like how people take photos of there vacation. (I block out memories because of traumatized past. This way it floods my mind with a "oh, yeah!")
