Critics say it stems from Google's Drive to boost advertising revenue.

Google says it provides, "Robust controls so people can turn them on or off, and delete their histories at any time."

To find out if you're tracked by Google, you can go to your Google Maps timeline, and from there you can check your phone's location settings and make adjustments.
