In the past two days, a large number of "oil discovery" entries have suddenly appeared on the Internet, and the reason for the incident is that some netizens found that typing "oil discovery" will automatically trigger the positioning function of Apple's mobile phone, suspecting that the mobile phone is leaking privacy.
Apple's customer service explained that the location function is turned on by default, and any action may trigger an update status, not just sending a specific text. However, this is not the whole story, and in general, the iPhone rarely triggers the location function, unless you are searching for something, or the app mechanism is set up, and when the user enters certain characters, the app will automatically enable the location function in the background.
Take WeChat as an example, it's not just "found oil", whether you type in "I found an airplane", "I found a rocket", "I found a little cutie" or "I found dragon fruit", it will trigger the positioning function. Therefore, the statement that entering "oil discovery" will automatically send location information is obviously a misunderstanding.
实际上，智能手机并没有内置这样的关键词监控机制，苹果的iOS系统和其他主流操作系统一样，对于用户输入的内容词条进行监控是为了提供更好的语言识别服务，最基本的就是输入法联想，当你频繁把不是一个规范词的两个字一起输入，那么时间一长，再次输入时，便会成为输入法的词组出现。
For those who are extremely sensitive to privacy, you can manage your iPhone location services by following these steps:
- Open Settings.
- Click on "Privacy & Security".
- Manually turn off Location Services.
In addition, if you don't want an app to access your location, you can choose not to allow the app to use location features in your location services settings.
