How can I prevent my parents from tracking my Android phone or fake the location? How can I prevent my parents from tracking my device? I have a Samsung Galaxy. I have heard that I can turn off my data, GPS locator, or the phone itself but I would like to be able to keep my phone with me and on at all times and have normal functionality. Is there a way I can route the tracker to a specific location when I want so that I could just tell them I am at that location even when I'm not? I'm 17 and I'm getting sick of getting a phone call every time I leave a friend's house. I am willing to root my device and install any kernel or ROM; whatever it takes.
if you believe that your parents are tracking you with your android.do this

1:backup your favorite apps.
2:factory reset the phone.
3:encrypt your phone.(this way nobody else can access your phone)
4:for extra protection you may add pin so that you can lock down parents from accesing your settings.
5:if you are going a step further you can lock down your phone in kiosk mode with the help of any
custom launchers or anything like that.

but i think you should probably talk with your parents.
