It is on any smart phone with GPS, or at least, one should assume it is.
> who you talk to does not have to be in there either
Really? If the number is there does it matter if the name isn't in your address book? I'm fairly tech savvy and how much confidence do I really have that clearing my call history actually removes it from the phone all together?

I'm fairly tech savvy and how much confidence do I really have that clearing my call history actually removes it from the phone all together? You don't need any confidence because it is safe to assume you've given those numbers to the phone company (and by extension the secret service of your own country and probably in some back room deal to the United States and from there to the other five eyes countries). So you're paranoid about the wrong thing. Your cellphone 'knows where it is' but so do you and anybody looking at your cellphone, that's not exactly secret information. Where it was may be a different story. And where it is is interesting information when looking from the providers side into the network.
- jshen 11y agoDo you not have GPS on your phone or do you have it but know that it never saves your location history? If the latter, how do you know?
- jacquesm 11y agoI do not have GPS on my phone and that's a conscious choice.
- jshen 11y agoGotcha, that makes sense. I'm not sure it is possible to have it and know that your info is private, which I'm assuming you feel as well given you don't have it. I have it for the benefits and accept that my info probably isn't private.
