IPhone’s Location-Data Collection Can’t Be Turned Off
- chronoslynx 16y agoSure it can! " su cd /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreLocation.framework/Support rm consolidated.db ln -s /dev/null consolidated.db "
- robotblake 16y agoThat command has some errors, would be better off just forcing the link I'd imagine. No way to check if it works, but... sudo ln -sf /dev/null /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreLocation.framework/Support/consolidated.db
- chronoslynx 16y agoI've actually tried the command I posted above; seems to be working. 'consolidated.db' is symlinked to /dev/null just fine. I'm curious though, which part is erroneous? So I better understand for the future :p

- runjake 16y ago1.) Encrypt your iOS device backups. You're crazy if you don't already have this checked. 2.) Wait for next iOS update to patch this. 3.) If #2 doesn't happen, then begin to worry. The endless logging of location data looks like a bug.
- X-Istence 16y agoMy iPhone hasn't touched consolidated.db since I last used Google Maps. It is still at the exact same size as it was before. So clearly you can turn it off somehow.
