If you are using Twitter for iOS 14.5 and up, Twitter is required to request permission to track data on your device from other companies, like apps you use and websites you visit. Show
For each iOS 14.5 and up device that you use Twitter on, you will see a prompt from Twitter providing information about Twitter’s tracking, followed by a tracking prompt from your iOS device for the Twitter app. Twitter discloses its tracking for the latest version of Twitter’s iOS app in its App Privacy section on the Twitter product page in the App Store. You can learn more about how Twitter handles your information, including tracking data on your device from other companies, in the Twitter Privacy Policy. How can I control Twitter’s tracking on my iOS 14.5+ device?
These choices only affect how Twitter may or may not track data on the applicable device going forward, after you have responded to Twitter’s iOS 14.5+ tracking prompt. Your choice may not go into effect immediately. Regardless of whether you allowed or declined Twitter permission to track you through the prompts described above, you can always go to your iOS device settings and select Twitter to adjust whether to allow tracking.

When Google Location Accuracy is on When you have Google Location Accuracy turned on, your phone uses these sources to get the most accurate location:
Google may collect location data periodically and use this data in an anonymous way to improve location accuracy and location-based services. When Google Location Accuracy is off When you turn off Google Location Accuracy, your phone uses GPS and sensors, like accelerometer, to determine location. GPS can be slower and less accurate than other sources. When Google Location Accuracy is off, GPS, Wi-Fi, network, and sensor data are not used or collected by Google Location Accuracy. For Android 12 and higher, you can manage each app’s permission to access precise location. This is different from Google Location Accuracy, which is a location setting for your device that allows your phone to use more sources for the most accurate location. Even with Google Location Accuracy on, you can grant an app only approximate location permission if you don't want to allow it access to your device’s precise location. If you turn off Google Location Accuracy, apps may not be able to get your device’s precise location.

Send your location in an emergencyTo help responders find you quickly, your phone's location can be sent when you dial or text an emergency number, like when you dial 911 in the US or 112 in Europe. If Android Emergency Location Service (ELS) works in your country or region and on your mobile network, and you haven't turned ELS off, your phone will automatically send its location to first responders through ELS. If ELS is off, your mobile carrier might still send the device's location during an emergency call or text.

Tip: Learn how to get help in an emergency. How Emergency Location Service worksELS is only activated when you call or text a local emergency number. During your emergency call, ELS may use Google Location Accuracy and other information to get the most accurate location possible for the device. Your phone sends its location to authorized emergency partners for the purpose of helping emergency services locate you. Your location is sent directly from your phone to emergency partners. After a completed emergency call or text during which ELS was active, your phone may send deidentified usage and analytics data to Google for the purpose of analyzing how well ELS works. This information doesn’t include the location sent to authorized emergency partners, and doesn't identify you. Tip: When ELS sends your location to authorized emergency partners, it’s different from when you share location via Google Maps. Learn about Location Sharing with Google Maps.
