Romeo responded within seven days and said there is already a feature enabled which allows users to move themselves to a rough position rather than utilize GPS.<\/p>\n<p>However, this is not a default setting and users must <a href=\"https:\/\/www.planetromeo.com\/en\/care\/location\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">enable it themselves<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CNET:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/google-now-offers-no-password-login-if-you-have-android-phone\/?ftag=CMG-01-10aaa1b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google now offers no-password login &#8212; if you have an Android phone<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Recon said the issue has now been resolved by moving to a &#8220;snap to grid&#8221; setup.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A &#8220;snap to grid&#8221; system seems to be one of the most reasonable ways to resolve precise tracking. Rather than pinpointing the exact location of a user, this would &#8220;snap&#8221; a user to the nearest grid square, which provides a rough area and keeps the exact location of someone hidden from prying eyes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Grindr did not respond to the disclosure. 3Fun worked with the researchers and requested advice on how to plug its data leak.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pen Test Partners recommends that users should be given real, transparent options in how their location data is used so risk factors are known and understood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>TechRepublic:&nbsp;<\/strong><a

them,&#8221; the researchers say. &#8220;App makers must do more to inform their users and give them the ability to control how their location is stored and viewed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In related news this week, researcher Darryl Burke reported that the Chinese &#8216;version&#8217; of Tinder, called Sweet Chat, has also been leaking <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.burke-consulting.net\/sweet-chat\/\"
