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.
Lol I remember watching that YouTube video about a north Korean phone that took screenshots every few minutes.

The key difference is, instead of your data winding up in an oppressive, kleptocratic surveillance state, it goes to the oppressive, kleptocratic adtech industry (dw, your data is also still sent to the oppressive, kleptocratic surveillance state,)
dw, your data is also still sent to the oppressive, kleptocratic surveillance state
But the good news is the government has to pay them our tax dollars to spy on us instead of getting it for free or using that money to benefit the populace. Yay dystopia!

Oh thank God. You had me worried for a second there that Daddy Freedom and Mommy Liberty didn’t care about me anymore.
Also Red Star OS
I thought of the one app India was trying to force all phones sold in the country to have. That one was also tracking locations.
Oh yeah! I forgot about that one. Crazy times ahead for everyone.
That channel was Mrwhosetheboss
Its all projection from the west 🤷♀️
To be fair the type of person that would install a white house app probably needs to be tracked anyway.
This is tracking the press who need it for their job
That’s probably why they did it. They know trump is most likely to be shot at by one of their own nuts.
Thank god that they banned foreigner made Routers to their whole country for security reasons though.
Banning routers today, Reuters tomorrow.
The funny thing is, THIS seems to be the part the media is rolling with, but if you read the full details about what it can do and how poorly it’s made, tracking your location is only one thing to worry about (though it’s a big one to be fair).
E.g The potential for running arbitrary malicious code if one random dude on the internet (who is unrelated to the US government) has his GitHub account compromised? Daaaaaaawg
It was already a no from me, dawg, you don’t have to convince me.
No, but seriously. Everything he tries to implement is like 90’S cartoon level evil and sloppy. I bet we could get him monologuing.
If you’re stupid enough to install that on your phone, you deserve whatever it is that you get. I’m surprised it doesn’t periodically send your browsing history to the fuhrer for inspection. Wouldn’t want those sheep getting the wrong thoughts.

Wtf is a White House app good for? Streamlining his mental diahrea into your hands?
One thing I don’t think has got enough attention is the fact that it does a fetch from Truth Social as well, which means Trump personally gets at least some indirect data on the app’s users on a server that isn’t even slightly controlled or contracted by the government.
Why would anyone download this?
A previous version of this article stated that the White House app was actively tracking users’ GPS coordinates every 4.5 minutes via OneSignal’s SDK. This characterisation, which circulated widely on X, including in posts that accumulated hundreds of thousands of views, has since been contested by independent technical analysis. Multiple developers who reviewed the decompiled code confirmed that while the GPS tracking constants exist within OneSignal’s bundled SDK, the app does not call that capability. No location permission prompt is issued to users upon installation, and OneSignal’s documentation states that location data is not collected unless a developer explicitly enables the feature. The GPS code is most likely residual from the SDK template rather than a deliberate implementation. This article has been updated to reflect that distinction.
This is at the bottom of the article.
Anybody, anybody at all, who believes that they aren’t going to be doing something really machiavellian, after operating on a “million deportations per year” paradigm, needs their head examined.
After dictatorship is activated, it’ll be required for citizens.
Wait & see…
( & if they forgot to put spyware into their app this time, that doesn’t mean it won’t come in in an update. )
Get cynical: evidence warrants it, nowadays…

PS: I have NO idea why a partial-version of this comment got multi-posted, while I was still writing it.
Sorry.

Do you honestly believe the federal government needs people to install the official Whitehouse app in order to track their location?
If so, lol.

But her emails!!!
i installed it on my burner and it’s asking permission to check my buttholes
Are you a preteen? If not then you’re not young enough for them to be interested in!!
No like they are really interesting. Every time I go to the doctor if there is someone new they beg to look up them.
I know I ended up being a really hard final exam question, but I may have been a famous case study and I’m not sure how to ask without it getting really weird.
I say no, by the way. You gotta pay if you want a peek
All 2+ of them?
yup all of them. it is not a gentle lover.
“I know what you’re going to say. What does the boob test tell you that the butthole test didn’t. He’s just being thorough.”
Did you accept?
Nah i sent them the photos years ago
Would it be bad if we were using GPS spoofers and locate thousands of people in the WH at all time?
I wonder if it’s so Trump knows where all of his supporters actually are located. If you’re trying to quell a future resistance, it would be easy to begin with pockets of the country that don’t have the app installed.
I wonder if that dumb ass has downloaded his own app and let a third party track the POTUS in real time. I almost feel sorry for the agents assigned to his security detail.
It’s already trivial to track the president’s approximate location if you’re a drone operator or hobbyist pilot because he has a 50 mile diameter no-fly zone centered on him at all times, which is plainly visible on the FAA maps.
LOL. White House app. Just fuck right off with your propaganda 🤣🤣🤣🤣
