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.
its gotta be hard to be a conspiracy theorist nowadays where every theory turns out to be true
I wish any of the conspiracy theorists theories are the real theories.
They are all into pizzagate and flat earth, and not “huh, I bet the government’s app is a peice of shit that’s tracking me”
Conspiracy theorists never actually believe in the actual conspiracies. No it’s always the lamp posts broadcasting nanobots into your blood. And not that the phone that has tracking capabilities is tracking you, in fact no conspiracy theorist ever has ever been worried about their iPhone or billionaires sending plenty text emails to each other about to listen activities.
Wtf is a White House app good for? Streamlining his mental diahrea into your hands?

Thank god that they banned foreigner made Routers to their whole country for security reasons though.
Banning routers today, Reuters tomorrow.
That means we have to invade a foreign country who makes routers, because we don’t make routers in America.
America First!
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.
Altogether now, and-a-one, and-a-two, and-a-one-two-three…

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.
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.
Butter emails

Surprised=False
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.
I’m surprised it doesn’t periodically send your browsing history to the fuhrer for inspection.
That’s the ultimate objective, of course. That, and tracking every opinion you post on social media.
K, I think they all deserve high velocity therapy to fix their broken brains.
A little Flying Lead Poisoning?

3 trackers is surprisingly few
Why does it have the Huawei services SDK inside of it?
Gross.
Who the actual fuck would install an app from lying scum dumpy? Holy shit.
Those who lost money on Trump coin.
HAHAHAHAHA
With all material pain this man has inflicted, I totally forgot about his crypto scam.
What the fuck, he’s so cartoonishly evil.
It’s the latest family scam. Barron has a net worth of $150,000,000, mostly from his portion of his own crypto scam.
Morons with a red hat?
Well ppl are actually installing the spyware thats my companies HR app. They simply dont know the extent
If you operate that within the EU, you better know what you are doing, hope it never gets leaked, or don’t do half of what you are implying here.
The app is external I’ve just done integrations with the API but I wouldn’tve trusted that app with the fact that I need air to breathe should have it been my choice
I love me some whistle-blowing!
if it’s a work phone, sure, I can understand. but if it’s a personal phone, do NOT conduct any work related stuff on it. Especially do NOT install any apps from. likewise, do NOT do any personal stuff on a work phone. Keep them completely separated. Just my 2c
On my first day at a new job in 1998, I watched a guy get escorted out of his office and the building carrying his stuff in a cardboard box. My use of the verb “escort” is ironic because it turned out that the guy had been running a prostitution ring. He’d gotten an 800 number that redirected to his office phone number, and he kept track of everything (names and phone numbers of his clients and girls and records of every arrangement) in a spreadsheet on his work computer. He only got busted because the company upgraded everybody’s PC and had techs look through all the old PCs to make sure nothing important was going to get deleted; this dude had named his spreadsheet something like “call girls.xls” and had it on his Windows desktop.
This seemed amazing to me, but after working there a few months I realized how somebody could get that sloppy. IT Security at this place was fucking lax. None of us programmers had an identifiable boss or anything like clearly-defined responsibilities, or even rigid work hours. I remember one stretch for about a month where in a room with 50 people in it, all everybody did all day was call into the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? hotline and try to get onto the show.
Unrelated prostitution story:
So there was big prostitution scandal in my medium sized city once, and it hit all the papers. The rings that get all the press are the ones that are run by a MADAM. Pimp-run prostitution is boring. Put a woman in charge, and it makes headlines.
It was literally front page news, so I come into work, and ask my office mate about it, and he says “I used to work with a guy with same last name [which was unusual], I wonder…” and he calls him.
Was that guy pissed! As he said at the top of his lungs so even I could even hear it: “THAT’S MY EX-WIFE. THE FUCKING BITCH STARTED A PROSTITUTION RING USING MY FAMILY NAME!”
I’m going to have to check my mother’s phone.
