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 u/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.

It is inevitable that governments will track citizens every movement, every post, every action if they can. No government says they’ve had enough power they always want more.

Honestly this is making me feel better about what they actually know. If they are trying this dookie mobile app that makes me think they don’t already have that data. At least the White House doesn’t

How is it doing this without users approving GPS permissions? I downloaded the app to see if it asked for them, and it didn’t.

I saw this app mentioned yesterday. My immediate thought was who would download that. It’s gonna be full of ways for the government to collect info and spy on you.

Add them to the top of the Entity list. There’s more proof here than others on the list.
