> I wondered if a similar envelope could protect my phone from being located all the time? And maybe that would also protect the phone from EMPs?

Since phones radiate location on the gigahertz freq, I think there would be no effect by wrapping it with metal etc.

Could disabling “Location” still make the phone trackable?

Aluminum foil does strongly attenuate radio waves.

I am not sure why you refer to gigahertz as higher frequencies are attenuated more.

The microwave oven door uses a Faraday cage to block the gigahertz radiation.

Note the difference between “shield” and “cage”.
