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 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."

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
