Location access settings determine whether your tablet can use 
your current location. When location access is turned on, apps 
can use it to give you more relevant information, such as nearby 
restaurants or commute traffic. 

To turn off location access for all apps, go to Settings > Personal 
> Location access. if you prefer, you can turn off location access 
by Google apps while still permitting its use by non-Google apps 
– just go to Settings > Accounts > Google > Location settings.

Location Reporting refers your tablet’s ability to report your cur-
rent location for the purpose of recording your Location History. 

Location History refers to your tablet’s ability to store your past 
locations, including home and work. 

When you decide to use Google Now, you’ll start reporting your 
location and turn on your Location History. Google won’t share 
this information with other users or marketers without your 
permission. 

if you opted in to Location History in the past, Google Now uses 
your previously recorded locations as well as ongoing locations 
when making suggestions. Turning off Location History pauses 
the collection of location information, but doesn’t delete your his-
tory. To manage or delete your location details, visit 

Along with Location History, Google Now uses your tablet’s loca-
tion access service, which must also be turned on for Google Now 
to work. To manage this setting, go to 

 Settings > Personal > 

Location access.
