#苹果客服回应发现石油触发定位#
Rush to the hot search
What the hell is going on
It is understood that the cause of the incident was that some netizens sent comments in the comment area "I found a lot of oil", and as a result, the iPhone will automatically turn on the mobile phone to locate it.
Some netizens said that Apple's mobile phone is collecting and sending location information.
Under related topics, many netizens commented, "It's true! I've verified it! It's terrible", "My colleague just tried it, and it does". But some people said, "No."
Someone else commented that "typing 'discovery' can trigger it".
In this regard, Apple's official customer service responded: Because positioning is turned on by default, the phone will have an updated status, not only sending things, any operation may trigger positioning, and there is no information to support what text to send will automatically turn on positioning.
If this happens because the mobile phone turns on positioning by default, then in addition to the Apple system, will the Android system also trigger automatic positioning? Southern Metropolis Daily reporter also conducted the same test on Android brand mobile phones, searching for "discovery of oil" in the search box, and found that Android phones also appeared on Android phones similar to Apple's positioning logos.
In this regard, some industry insiders said that searching for "discovery of oil" will automatically locate it is not the "exclusive patent" of Apple's mobile phone, but a common phenomenon in smartphones. In order to provide users with more accurate services, the application service provider will use the automatic positioning function to accurately locate the customer's location, so as to advance the relevant content of the user's location and make the search results closer to the user's localized or personalized data needs. "In fact, no matter what you search for on a mobile smart terminal, as long as the device has the permission to turn on positioning to the relevant application, then the application will automatically turn on the positioning function when retrieving data. ”
The above-mentioned person also said that if the user does not need the automatic positioning function, he can also control the app to refuse access to the location, turn off the location in the APP, or turn off the search function of the mobile phone, but some functions of the relevant application may not be used normally.
