Easier to stay home.
The place where I used to work 25 years ago was exactly like that!......................
“Yeah, then youd have to do the other thing.”
What other thing?
“but mine says to turn on location.”
I have no idea what you are referring to!
How do you get to Settings?
Asking for a Boomer friend.
Or just make/get a Faraday bag for your phone. :-)
I’m sure the app has configuration over and above bluetooth availability. I’m skipping it all. I don’t go anywhere anyway. Working from home. the only person I get within 6 feet of is my wife.
Apparently it uses location service for the Bluetooth tracking. Your location is. not monitored.
Yep. You even have to download another app.
Mine wound up being a little different. I couldn’t find the locate my phone app but when I got to the final step “uninstall updates” it complained that Google Play Services was an administrator, Then it displayed a “manage administrators” and when pressed it showed the locate my phone app turned on. That worked! It’s gone.

Ask a Hasidic Jewish person. When I flew to Israel I noticed they all had basic phones because of their beliefs. I often wondered where they buy them.
I take care of COVID patients in ICU and I have not been notified. They track you for their benefit only and you can’t stop them.
Worked. Thanks

Didn’t you mean to say that “It is not working until someone activates it.”?
Want to be that the app can be remotely activated?

It measures the bluetooth signal strength. I’ve done a bit of radar analysis and signal strength is notoriously inaccurate way to measure distance even in the open. Now try it within a walmart with aisles and obstructions. Almost totally useless.
How do I Phreak it into making it look like I am a plague carrier of COVID19?
I hate dealing with other people.
I have both location and bluetooth off.
