Can your IPhone 4S be tracked?

I have the IPhone 4S, & the other day my mom said she she could GPS where I was at, she doesn't have a smart phone or anything. So can she actually track where my phone is online or something? & it she can, is there something I can turn off on my phone so she can't locate it?

She could have created an account with iCloud, which has a feature to track the Apple device. Or she could have gotten the tracking with the cellular provider. If she doesn't have a smart phone, this means she will only be able to view you on your home computer.

If you have an iPhone or iPad, your movements have been tracked without your seems to have come into effect with the start of Apple's iOS 4 update, which was released in June 2010. Luckily, you can learn how to disable iPad tracking.

  • Tracked stolen iphone, can the police help retrieve it? On Monday night my phone went missing at a nightclub, I'm unsure whether it was lost or stolen however a couple of other things went missing from my bag. I know now that the phone has been taken, using iCoud and "find my iphone" I tracked my phone to a house on a road near to the club, so someone has obviously found/taken my phone home with them. Are the police able to do anything about this as i know the location of my phone?
  • Say someone sold you a stolen or lost iPhone 5.can it be tracked? I lost an iPhone 5… Just wondering, is there a way to track it to who ever has it? I mean after they have basically factory reset it. I heard they have a GPS tracker that allows the carrier to track it… Is that true? Can someone start using the phone themselves… With no problem. Have I lost my iPhone for good?

  • I Turn Off The GPS on iPhone 5/iPhone 4S can it still be tracked? Okay so i'm 17 and my sister is 16, i have the iPhone 5 and she has the 4S. My parents are strict and smother us, and we like to have space and like to go out. So sometimes we leave at night. We like to have fun and got out. But iPhones are trackable right? So if we turn the iPhone gps and any other gps apps off can it still be tracked?
