Google keeps asking about turning on my location timeline, trying to push for me to turn ON Ad tracking.

Are they stupid? If I'm the type of person who went out of his way to turn this crap off ...do they really think saying "Your in Control" is going to encourage me to turn this s*** back on?

they're not doing it to get you to turn it back on, but your mom who you turned it off for. drives me mad how often I have to redisable privacy nightmares everytime my mom asks me to help her with her phone.

Why do you care about it, if she doesn't? Let it backfire on people with no critical thinking skills.

You obviously don't have any critical thinking skills based off of your comment

When your family member's privacy is compromised, so is yours.
