Reading No, iPhone location tracking isn't harmless and here's why
I became curious and looked up the issue of mobile phone tracking. Sadly the secret Apples file is the top of the iceberg, visible because the file is provided by the company. Well that is gross, However apparently there is spy-phone software that can do the monitoring if somebody wants to buy it. Reading about it just made me feel so sick in the stomach, I searched my own number and yes it was there. Then I tried another chip I plugged in and out a week ago and yes it was still on the map. One vendor sells both a spyware and an antispyware to counteract the spy phone software he sells himself as well as that of other companies. That is to my mind ok for balance, since most just sell the spy ware.
On the iPhone one could wonder if the location tracker is so deeply located, or intrinsic to the phone, that it can not be picked up with an anti spyware? Could one use a normal pc antivirus to check files on a phone? I do not know for sure, but I tried hooking up the Nokia 6300 to a pc with a micro usb, I applied the Avast antivirus and Malwarebytes programmes. They at the least pretended to look at it and nothing recognizable was found, so that was encouraging but the whole tour-de-spy has left me with disgust. To confirm my findings I have sent my number to a friend to check up, if it is true that my chip that was last logged in a week ago was really tracked or whether it was a fake and they returned the location of my pc for lack of better answer. Time will show.
Irrespective of what software may do or not to a phone there is the hardware issue, which is brought up by another website

Many of these measures are provided, promoted and sold because of the good stories, like criminals get caught, children get protected from abuse, and elderly do not get lost. It is true but just one side of it. The other is that ideals of the respect for privacy are wearing down, it seems that they are almost completely gone.
