With the release of Android 15, users will be able to control the transmission of their geolocation to mobile operators. In this respect reports Android Authority portal.
Thus, smartphone users running the Android 15 operating system will receive a setting that will allow them to block geolocation requests from operators, except in urgent cases, for example, emergencies.
Journalists believe that this function is especially important because by connecting to a nearby tower, the smartphone can independently send data about its location to the operator, which allows determining its approximate geographical location. Although full protection is not possible, Android 15 will give users more control over when such data can be shared.
It is stated that the feature was initially added to Android 14 QPR2, but was later removed to be implemented in Android 15.
Using this feature will require support from cellular module manufacturers. The first devices it will likely be built into will be Google Pixel smartphones. The full version of Android 15 is expected to be released in the fall of 2024.
