- Microsoft 365 will now track employees' real-time locations starting March 2026.
- Managers can see if employees are connected to non-company Wi-Fi networks (e.g., Starbucks).
- The update affects Teams on Windows, Mac, and mobile apps.
- Disconnecting from office Wi-Fi won't hide your location.
- Critics view the feature as invasive, comparing it to a 'digital ankle monitor.'
