3 Dangerous settings to turn off on your Samsung Galaxy phone! Most people never look at these, even though they track more than you think. First, open the settings app and go to the tab named Google. Inside there, tap on the section called All services. Scroll down and tap on Usage & diagnostics. You need to turn that off. This one sends your device activity straight to the developers and it runs all the time in the background. Now, go back to your main settings and open Digital Wellbeing and parental controls. Tap the three dots at the top. Then choose Settings. Next, tap Usage data access. Find settings in here and turn off its access. This blocks another layer of tracking that most phones keep on by default. Go back once and open Customization Services. Wait for it to load. Then switch off the main toggle. This one collects how you use your phone to personalize things, but it also reports a lot of info in the background. Turn off its access.
