I wonder how that works. Sure you can shut location data off on the phone, but isn’t your phone still going to be pinging a cell tower anyway? I know the phone isn’t supposed to be giving location data, but I would imagine that you’re still sending signals to and from nearby towers, and I don’t know that what phones ping what towers is monitored; but I can’t help but wonder if it is regardless.
Same here.
I assumed that turning off location tracking gave you personal privacy from the corporate world, apps, etc, but not from the infrastructure of the cell tower system.
Youโre still pinging off of the towers. Youโre just not sharing data with aps.
Get a Faraday bag, and turn off your phone when not in use if youโre concerned.
Better yet, get a burner phone.
