HERE’S HOW 10 ESSENTIAL ANDROID 10 FEATURES

9. OPT OUT OF AD
   TA RG E TI N G
   Google has long offered a way to opt out of
   ad-targeting on Android, but the feature
   was buried deep in your account settings.
   Android 10 puts it in a much more
   accessible
   location.
   Check
   Settings >
   Privacy >
   Advanced >
   Ads to find the
   Opt Out
   toggle. If you
   flip the switch,
   your activity
   won’t feed
   into Google’s
   ad algorithms.
   That’s good

for your peace of mind, but the

ads you see won’t be as

relevant to your interests.

10. RESTRICT
    LOCATION
    PERMISSIONS
    Android 10 has a whole new
    menu for monitoring how
    apps use your location under
    Settings > Location. There, you
    can see the apps that most
    recently grabbed your location,
    allowing you to block anything you don’t trust.
    Under the App Permission submenu, you
    can change the way apps access your
    location as well. You now have the option
    of allowing location access all the time or
    only when the app is open.
