your phone is a location tracking device, its inherent to its ability to be mobile. what you need to do is not post on facebook every two minutes. thats what they are talking about with "check in". some other sites will seek out your location then relay it back. thre was a file on the iphone that stored your location and was accessible to apps/pages, iirc that was tightend up a while ago.

Any mobile can be tracked in real time. But smart phones add longitude and latitude data to your photos, and I'm not sure but I think it records your location even just when you log into social media. You can turn those features off. But by the looks of the ways this technology is being exploited, you could also find yourself caught in a drag net just by having the wrong "friend" on FB.

People who care about their privacy are doing something wrong. Nothing to hide, nothing to fear.

If your turn off the gps and location stuff on your phone it doesn't include the gps info on your pictures (because it doesn't know it). Or so I was told by a cyber safety policewoman last year.

Apoparently Istagram stamps the location of every photo you take and includes it in the data. (This can be turned off I believe).

According to a cyber safety course i went on there are increasing numbers of theives etc that are using this information to plan burglaries, muggings and groom children.

gps is just one method. if you go on line, certain services use either wireless or just your cell location to determine where you are for location. this can be accessible to other apps. point is the only way to stop this completely is to turn of the phone signal. or you could be more carefull about the sites used so that the location information isnt used.

I have turned off both my gps location services and my wireless location services. As far as i know to use the phone signal to find my whereabouts someone would need special permission and as already stated this information can only be accessed their and then rather than being saved within the code of photographs and uploaded to websites. This information can be relatively easily accessed by people.

You will forgive me for not taking your word for it but i am acting on advice gived to me by a copper with years of experience of cyber safety and cyber policing.

From my quick look at the video dingo provided it also seemed that the data that the fella was trawling through was not taken from the cell location itself but from the gps part that is used to update your location on facebook.

I have just uploaded two photos to facebook, neither of which contain any location information. I am guess this would make it much harder ( although i concede not impossible) for some dastardly fellas to track my whereabouts.

Although to be fair one was a picture of The Amex which i had labelled The Amex!
