It’s difficult to envision life without a smartphone. But these days, owning one may raise inevitable doubt. Recent studies show smartphones hold the ability to track anyone’s location SECRETLY based on its accelerometer. An accelerometer is a device that tells apps which way a smartphone is facing.
Since there are no two phones that are precisely alike, officials say that flaws in accelerometers are distinct to each phone that allow them to be identified. Additionally, an accelerometer isn’t something that can be concealed by adjusting an app or a phone’s privacy settings.
With this tool in every smartphone, soon government agencies and various organizations may be able to keep an eye on your location in secret. But before panicking, keep in mind this device has yet to be perfected.
Here at PMBC Group, a Los Angeles Technology PR Firm, we are excited to contribute to and support the current technological development news.
