    When I was growing up, my dad had to trust where I was and where I was going. We had no cell phones. Now with cell phones, not only can he track me, I can track him. Until, that is, Apple or the app updates and up pops a dialog box that can be confusing.

    Most of the time, you only want apps to know about your location not at all or only while using the application. Except when it comes to location tracking apps that need your location always.

    On a periodic basis Apple will prompt you to ask if you still want the “always” setting. If you say no, you suddenly can’t track dad.

    Just a reminder that sometimes apps don’t know what’s best for you and you really do want “always.”
