Could disabling “Location” still make the phone trackable?
>Could disabling “Location” still make the phone trackable?
If you disable location, I’m pretty sure it disengages the GPS locators, but cellphone ping triangulation (from my opinion) could still easily be used to track you.
I wouldn’t trust having any type of cell phone on my person, even if off, if I was concerned about being tracked.
All disabling Location does is make your phone stop sharing that info with apps. It still knows roughly where it is from tower triangulation and can still tattle on you via the servers.

Cell phone towers need to know who owns the device/phone connecting to the network to know if you are a subscriber. It is impossible to turn that off. Turning off “location” in your phone only turns it off for applications on the phone. The cell phone company still tracks your phone.
