Stumble Guys: How to Turn Off the Radar (Geolocation) and Mute Notifications Forever

You're in the middle of a chaotic Stumble Guys race, dodging hammers and falling through trapdoors, when your phone buzzes. Again. "Your friend just won a round!" Great. Then you check your battery—drained. Part of the blame? That little location icon in your status bar, glowing like a beacon. Stumble Guys doesn't need to know where you live to let you stumble around virtual arenas. But it's probably tracking you anyway, slurping up your location data and pushing notifications like a clingy ex.

Let's fix that. Here's how to revoke geolocation permissions and disable notifications on Stumble Guys, step by step.

Why Does Stumble Guys Want My Exact Location?

Good question. Stumble Guys is a multiplayer party game—think Fall Guys for mobile. It doesn't need GPS to function. The app likely uses location for ad targeting, analytics, or to serve region-specific content. But honestly? It's mostly about data collection. Your location is valuable for advertisers, and Stumble Guys (like many free-to-play games) monetizes your attention and your data. Turning off location won't break the game—it'll just stop the app from knowing if you're in a coffee shop or your basement.

How to Disable Geolocation on Stumble Guys

On iOS (iPhone/iPad)

1. Open Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services.
2. Scroll down to Stumble Guys and tap it.
3. Select Never. (Or "While Using the App" if you must, but "Never" is the privacy win.)
4. Bonus: While you're there, toggle off Precise Location to give only an approximate area.

On Android

1. Go to Settings > Apps > Stumble Guys.
2. Tap Permissions > Location.
3. Choose Deny. (Or "Allow only while using the app" if you prefer, but deny is cleaner.)
4. If you see "All the time" selected, change it immediately—that's the creepiest option.

How to Turn Off Notifications for Stumble Guys

On iOS

1. Settings > Notifications > Stumble Guys.
2. Toggle Allow Notifications off. Or customize: disable sounds, badges, and banners individually.
3. For extra peace, also disable Critical Alerts if that option appears (it shouldn't, but check).

On Android

1. Settings > Apps > Stumble Guys > Notifications.
2. Toggle All Stumble Guys notifications off. Or tap each category (like "Game invites") and disable individually.
3. If you see a "Notification access" option in system settings, revoke that too—it's a permission that lets apps read your notifications.

And just like that, Stumble Guys goes from a data-hungry stalker to a simple game. Your battery will thank you, and your privacy will breathe a sigh of relief. The tracking in Stumble Guys is stickier than duct tape on arm hair—but now you've peeled it off.

Now, a quick note on privacy laws: Compared to the American model under the California CCPA or CPRA, which gives you the right to opt out of data sales and request deletion, many mobile games still operate on a "collect first, ask later" basis. Stumble Guys, like many free-to-play titles, relies on ad revenue and data monetization. The CCPA/CPRA forces companies to be more transparent, but it's up to you to exercise those rights. Turning off location and notifications is your first line of defense—think of it as a DIY privacy shield. Don't wait for the game to ask nicely; take control now.
