I still rarely use mine on my phone.
The only time I will purposely seek a location app is when I need driving directions. After I get the directions, I remove that app. I don’t want to be ghosted.
I am realistic. It is likely that as long as my battery is in, someone, somewhere can ping me, and find out where I am, but that’s rarely a concern for me.
Almost never am I that worried about it. Still, I just don’t want a constant, unblinking digital eye staring at and recording my every movement outside.
I wonder what is going to happen to me if I refuse to use
APPS.
I am going to avoid it as long as I can. How long do you think I have????
I did not believe this story for even as long as it took me to read it.
I am assuming that allergic subject (possibly of a female pronoun) was at least 21, if so what are the odds she had never before taken ibuprofen and so had no idea that she might be allergic ?

Keep mobile devices in ‘airplane mode’ as much as practicable...
Sweetie, I was having chest pains so I pulled into the Motel 6 parking lot for a few hours.
No, really.
Wait until all of it: smartphone, credit and debit cards, driver’s licence and passport are all replaced with the mandatory microchip in the right hand or the forehead...
I kinda like it.
I’m 70 now, but by the time I was 30, I had lost every single member of my family. I was alone completely.
I like knowing that a friend can check on me at my age. I live alone and anything can happen. Sometimes, things like this can be helpful. If I didn’t like it, no one is forcing me to use it.
