Control how your location is used for notifications

The Google app uses the general area you’re in to send some notifications, such as weather updates and crisis alerts, to ensure they’re relevant and helpful. Google determines this general area in the background based on a variety of sources, including your IP address, and depending on your settings, your device’s location and previous activity.

You can control whether the Google app uses your location this way with the “Use current location” setting in your Google app notification settings. To ensure you get important alerts for your location, the “Use current location” setting is turned on by default, but you can turn it off anytime.

Important: When “Use current location” is on, the Google app temporarily saves the general area you’re in so that the app can use your last known location to send you helpful updates. This information is automatically deleted based on Google’s Privacy Policy.

Turn off current location use for notifications

On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google app .
At the top right, tap your profile picture or initial Settings Notifications Your notification settings.
- Important: Users with older app versions may find Notifications you opted into instead of Your notification settings.
At the top of the page, next to "Use current location," tap Turn off .

Important: If your home or work location is set on Google, you may still get location-based notifications when “Use current location” is turned off. Learn more about how you can update your location settings.
