Google has been accused in a lawsuit of illegally tracking the movements of millions of iPhone and Android phone users even when they use a privacy setting to prevent it.

According to a complaint filed late Friday, Google falsely assures people they won't be tracked if they turn the “Location History” feature on their phones to “off”, and instead violates their privacy by monitoring and storing their movements.
