I need to obtain a trajectory data of people's movement for my research. Hence I am looking for an app that can be installed into people's smartphones and as they move, it will collect their location data. So the data should have latitude, longitude, time, date. Thanks in advance.
I guess you can use something similar to Find My Device, and be able to write a program in your computer that queries the phone for location and other info.

@dimel Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I also found some like My tracks and Andro sensor.
I think you should check out Google Fit.

I am not sure that it provides actual location data or not. But it provides the various activity information. I hope it helps.
