How can you stop your phone from being tracked down?
I'm going to leave home for a couple a days and staying with a friend till I can have some time to myself.am going to take my phone which has service and everything but I don't want my parents to track my phone down.im basically running away but I really don't want my parents to be able to track my phone down once I leave because I don't want to be with them. How can I prevent them from tracking my phone other then leaving it home. Its an iPhone 6s Plus.
Switch it off when you're not using it. For as long as you're logged into a cellphone network or Wi-Fi connection, you're traceable.
Just turn off your gps
If you are paying your own phone bill, you can turn off the GPS, but if your parents pay it as part of a family plan, they can give info to the police who will work on finding you, if you are their dependent.
A) Buy a burner phone.
b) Set up calls to your phone to automatically forward to the burner.
c) Turn off your phone entirely.
And there you are.
You don't.
It's not considered safe to turn this off… Like really, no one risks it!
Turn off the cellular and Wi-Fi radios on your phone. The easiest way to accomplish this task is to turn on the "Airplane Mode" feature. This shuts down both your cell radios as well as the Wi-Fi radio installed inside your phone so that neither of them can connect to their respective networks.
Disable your GPS radio. Some phones have this as a stand-alone setting, while others bundle it into menus like Privacy or Location Settings. Turning off location-based features on your phone can prevent your GPS from being activated, which in turn keeps it from providing your phone's location. On some phones, activating "Airplane Mode" will also disable the GPS. Check your phone's user manual for exact instructions.
Shut the phone down completely and remove the battery. This is the easiest way to ensure that you can't be tracked via your cell phone, but it comes at the price of not being able to use your phone at all. If you need access to any data on your phone, back it up to a PC before you power down your device.
- IPhone being tracked via Wi-Fi? My brother found an iPhone5 a week ago at the mall and decided to keep it. (I know he's wrong for that ). He took out the sim card, turned off the location services & the findmyiphone thing. The service is now off. I guess the real owner took the service off. He connected it to iTunes and restored it to a new phone. Now all the data's erased. He connected it to our home Wi-Fi & now he's all worried that they could still track him. Can they?
- If my iPhone is being tracked by GPS not using any apps, how do I turn it off from my phone? Can I just turn off my location services or do I have to do something else? Will putting my phone on airplane mode do the trick? (the gps system is not using cellular data)
- I'm being tracked through my iPhone? My boyfriend confessed that he has been tracking my every move through my cellphone. However, he did not say how… I recently bought the new iphone and I haven't synched anything because I'm afraid that there might be an app that he installed in my phone. I have no idea how to find out the way that I was being tracked? Can anybody give me some advice please?
