The Trump administration’s newly launched White House App is under scrutiny after a software developer claimed to have found embedded code that tracks users’ precise GPS coordinates every 4.5 minutes and automatically syncs them to a third-party server. The claim, posted on 28 March 2026 by the X account @Thereallo1026, has drawn nearly 260,000 views and prompted questions about data collection practices in government-operated applications.
The post included what appeared to be decompiled source code from the app, revealing what the user described as OneSignal’s ‘full GPS pipeline compiled in.’ According to the post, the code showed the app ‘polling your location every 4.5 minutes, syncing your exact coordinates to a third-party server.’ The White House has not publicly responded to the specific technical claims.
I’m shocked! Shocked….well, not that shocked.
Kinda not shocked at all. Frankly, would have been more shocked if they WEREN’T tracking us.
I would have been more concerned if the app didn’t send data to Palantir. For now they still have to trick people to be 100% tracked, soon they won’t need anything. When they can passively track us, we are fucked. All it takes is biometrics + identity(name, ssn, driver license) + location(from your active devices) and tracking in apps is not needed anymore.
