I had a session with GroovyTek over the phone today. It was extremely helpful to me because I was able to see everything that he was doing on my computer as he was talking. I was then able to follow his actions to do what he was doing as well. What a way to go!

Good To Know: Location Tracking
Cleaning Out Your iPhone's Location Memory
Your iPhone keeps track of every place that you've visited, and how many times you've visited that particular place. It's looking for "significant" places that you've visited, so it can easily direct you back there again. For some of us, though, that seems like a "significant" violation of our privacy. These instructions will guide you, step-by-step, through cleaning out what iPhone has saved, and preventing it from saving that information in the future.
- Click on Settings and find the Privacy heading.
- Under the Privacy, click on "Location Services".
- Go to the bottom to select "System Services".
- At the bottom of this list, choose "Significant Locations." This requires your password for access.
- This is where your iPhone is tracking all of the locations that you have been. Take a look at this information. It's pretty interesting stuff!
- Next, you'll want to clear your history, which is all the way at the bottom of the list.
- Finally, at the top of the list, slide the button to the left to turn off the "Significant Locations" function.
Cleaning out Your Google Location History
Google does similar tracking through the GPS installed on your phone. When you originally signed up for your Google account, it asked you if you wanted to turn Google Location History on. If you accepted this option, then Google has been tracking you ever since.
to make sure everyone’s ready to go with their technology.
You can access your location history on your smartphone, on your computer, or tablet via Gmail. These instructions are written for making this change on your SmartPhone, and the changes are effective for all of your devices associated with that Gmail address.
First Reviewing and Deleting your Location History:
- Open Gmail.
- Choose Settings.
- Click on your email address.
- Select "Manage Your Google Account".
- Under "Review Your Privacy Settings," press "Get started".
- Then press "Start Now".
- Scroll down to see "Location History." If it shows "Paused," no further action is necessary.
- If the Location History is Turned On,
- Select "Manage Location History".
- Then "Explore your timeline".
- Choose "Let's Go".
- Take a look at all of the information that Google has stored for you. It shows where you have been over time. If you choose to allow Google to keep this information, and continue tracking your location, then stop here. If you want to delete the information and stop tracking, then continue.
- Press the three dots in the upper corner.
- Choose Settings.
- Scroll down the page.
- Press "Delete all location history".
Second Way To Turn off the Location History Tracking:
- Go back to Review Privacy Settings.
- Select Location History.
- Then Turn Off.
- Pause (turns off location tracking on all devices).
Client Reviews
I have been very pleased with the IT trainers from GroovyTek who have been to my house. They were very helpful!
Karen B
I was just delighted and on my way to practice new found skills. My trainer was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient with this little old lady (age 78). I didn't have to take notes to remember - he recorded it on his tablet and sent me a copy to download so I have my instructions, step by step. So pleased with the service and the follow-up.
Karen M
I had a serious issue with my bank website not being secure. This was a very technical problem. I used the Remote Session option to get help. My GroovyTek trainer kept at it until we finally resolved the issue.
Jeff W
Very pleased with the experience. Knowledgeable trainer who was most helpful. Highly recommend the service.
Michael M
Excellent help from our GroovyTek trainer. He spent an hour explaining issues that I was confronted with, on my computer, and corrected all my issues and problems. He was concise, knowledgeable and forthright and I will call on him and GroovyTek again whenever I need help and support. I highly recommend GroovyTek services!
Laura M
We have had several help sessions with a GroovyTek trainer. WE could not be more pleased. My trainer takes all our questions and while answering types up his answers so even after he leaves, we can refer to his notes. I would recommend GroovyTek to any of my friends or family without hesitation. BTW, ALL the employees at this firm are extrememly knowledgeable and friendly.

I have always had the best computers that Apple offered, but the problem was that I never knew how to use them. Thanks to my GroovyTek trainer, my tech skills have increased exponentially and I am feeling more competent and confident with each lesson.
John B
I think your service is great! I have used it, and I booked 2 sessions for my 83-year old husband who bought himself a new Ipad, but didn't know how to use it. He's been ill, so it was a great help that you came to the house. Thanks for the service.
Susan S
I was so pleased to find GroovyTek. Although I am pretty tech savvy in some areas there are others where I need help. GroovyTek has helped me fill in that gap of information. I made an appointment to help me sync my devices and also help me learn how to organize my photos. The trainer was knowledgeable and able to explain things very clearly.
Natalie W
It is comforting to know if you have technical problems there is a Hands On source to get help. These trainers listen to your problems, find solutions and work with you until you understand the solution, their patience is outstanding. This is a great way to not only solve problems but to learn about the ever-changing world of technology; there are class presentations, small group gatherings or one-on-one in your home with kind, friendly, people.
Ingrid S
GroovyTek did a great job! My trainer was on time, professional and she solved my slow computer. Great job, GroovyTek! I will use your services again.
Marcia F
Very impressed with my trainer’s ability to provide thorough explanations and demonstrations. I have confidence now in knowing how to manage my photos, videos, and documents. I received my money’s worth of valuable instruction.
Cheryl M
Spectacular people. Knowledgeable, professional, customer focused and easy to work with. I have used their services a couple of times (because I am over 40) and they are great to work with.
Jim H
GroovyTek has helped me, a 65 year old, learn how to do all sorts of things on my computer that I did not know about before. I had no one else to ask, and they have rescued me. It's so great to have a polite, friendly, knowledgeable person come to my house and teach me. What a wonderful service!
