So, do you have your P4P cell Google "timeline" and "Web & App Activity turned off?" However, this does not stop Google from collecting other location markers. At the end of the year, this information will be stored on your device instead of your account. It's up to you if it is a fun way to view a chronicle of the places you've visited and routes to get there. It still works even if you are not using a Google app. But, it is a P4P phone.  
   
 Do you use your "play" phone to take pictures of a location/business you have been to for P4P? Then, do you have any SM on the phone? SM companies have tracked those places down, even if you don't post that photo on an SM.
