Can someone track your phone location without your permission?

I think someone is tracking my phone. He sent me a google map location, and I clicked on it. He commented on what part of town I must live in. I’ve since turned location off.

You cannot be guaranteed any privacy if you own a smartphone, the exception being Librem 5, which is designed to protect your privacy from the ground up but has some limitations due to it.

For example, even if you don't have a facebook account, you have a facebook account, whether you want it or not. All it takes is ANY of your contacts sharing their contact list with the facebook app for an entry for a lot of your details to enter their databases.
