Note that disabling the features may result in functionality loss; some Google services may provide less-personalized results when you pause the two features. Tip: You can pause all sorts of activity recorders on the site including the YouTube Watch and Search History as well. Check out our overview of Google's Activity Controls here. Pausing Web & App Activity, and Location History seems to be the only way that prevents Google from recording location-based information.
