It runs in the background. If you never open it, it's still working.

built into Android you can control the permissions of the app you are using, and remove the permissions to be able to monitor you - just as the post after me said

That Being Said: Nobody will do this, and the app will run in the background and steal MOST people's information, this is complete and utter bullshite

Very thankful I left Verizon last year

Do you think Verizon would go through that trouble and just allow you to turn it off by clicking a button? Nope. It will be a background process.
