The research investigates location privacy practices in popular mobile applications by analyzing their privacy policies, permissions, and network traffic. Using tools like MobSF, Amandroid, Charles Proxy, and Wireshark, we identified discrepancies between stated policies and actual data handling practices, including unauthorized data sharing, weak encryption, and excessive permissions. The study highlights the need for stronger anonymization techniques, stricter regulatory compliance, and enhanced user controls to protect location privacy.
