Can my phone carrier company see if I turned off my location services?
My parents track my location on my iPhone and I turned my location off. They are skeptical so they say they will call the cell company (T-Mobile) and ask if I turned my location off. Can T-Mobile know if I did or not?
Lol no they can't find out!
Yeah so maybe don't do it
Yes they definitely can tell if you have turned off your location services and they can even still get your location without GPS (location services) although it is much less accurate. I've done it myself. They have family location services through the cell phone company they turn on for a fee. The only way to stop it is to turn off your phone completely.
They do not need to - if your parents try to track your location, then the tracking info will show you have turned it off!
It's a rather dumb thing to do as there's then no way of locating the phone if it is lost or stolen.
Plus it will destroy any trust your parents have in you.
They are probably pretending to be unsure, to give you a chance to do the right thing on your own, before they ground you or confiscate your phone / put a child lock on it…
You know what?
If you weren't trying to sneak around doing things you shouldn't do,
you would not have any reason to ask such a question.
Neither your parents nor your carrier are as stupid as you think they are. Enjoy being grounded!
Your smart phone is a computer. As such, the cell phone company can manage it so yes, they know.

- Using location services on iPhone while cellular data is off? If I have turned off cellular data on my iPhone 5 and have location services on, will I be charged? In other words, do location services use cellular data when Wi-Fi is not available, even though I have turned off cellular data?
- Trading-in my water damaged phone to a phone company. Can they see my personal data? So i'm trading in my iPhone 6 for a newer version as it is water damaged (it won't turn on or anything) and my phone company said that they can recycle it. Does this mean that once they get it working, they will see all of my personal information, including photos, contacts etc? I've taken the SIM card out but I'm not sure what this contains.
- Tech geniuses. Is there a way to fake your iPhone s location? *specifically on find my friends /location services*? Wondering if anyone can help me either 1) freeze my iPhones location at a specific spot or 2) completely fake the location (without jailbreaking my phone) I'm required to share my location at all times to my parents and need a night a feeedom.
- Instagram knows where I (location services are off)? My location services in my Settings on my iPhone are turned off. Yet, Instagram still knows where I'm? In my search tab, it still has "Philadelphia" stories and my county stories. I don't know how to turn this off and I do not know how it knows where I live because the only location tag I have ever used was when I was in Mexico.
