FinBak 12 #13 Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) The scary thing is...Mobile phones don't even need to be SWITCHED ON for them to track your movements. When i say 'Them', (Apart from the phone network provider), I mean specifically, ANY GOV'T department. Smartphones weren't only invented to entertain us and make our lives easier...they are the next best thing to an RFID Chip Implant. Which, one day, just like smart phones...folks will wan't the 'best' one on offer and will ACTUALLY pay for it.! Laughable.. but that's the REAL future folks.!

You can see for yourself Jaysus, while it has a couple of things wrong, 99.99 of them are right. It's more scary than I thought at first. Can this "tracking" be disabled in any way - permanently.

FinBak 12 #18 Posted August 17, 2019 You can't disable a Mobile phone signal..No matter what Mobile phone you have. The ONLY way to disable is to not have a Mobile phone in the first place. If you wan't to go that far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

RollingJ 2,002 #22 Posted August 18, 2019 I find these comments a bit strange. I have both iPhone and iPad, which both usually go out with me. The Google maps app is permanently 'on' on the iPad but the phone is just that - the phone only has 'Whatsapp' enabled, everything else that could track me is disabled/switched off. However, I never get any texts or messages of this nature. Maybe because I don't use either as a payment option? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Usually I have the data turned off and am not logged into any local wifi also my GPS is turned off so not sure how it picks up my location.

Ontarian1981 10 #24 Posted August 18, 2019 I have an Android phone and tablet with the same Google acount merged. Don't know much about the tracking stuff like some of you guys are talking about, but the most recent entry on my devices says,that I visited a certain hospital 8 months ago. This was correct, but I have been to lots of places since.Maybe I have disabled the location app without even knowing it, not that I care Lol.
