On android phones it is possible to turn off the GPS function, I keep mine off. Now as noted above this will interfere with some apps. I have Google play so limited that I get multiple warnings each day from Google. I have gone to each app, where necessary I have turned off access to the camera, photos, location, call data etc., this helped greatly.
Also, I made the mistake once of signing up for 'rewards' from a restaurant with my phone, I will never do that again. If a store wants me to sign up for rewards, it must be by my home computer where I have more control.
Hope this helps.
