No, no, no. Not "apps". The phone itself. It sends out a cell signal to cell towers as part of its basic operation. And it triangulates your location from that. Information your phone data provider, your phone maker (Google/Apple), and possibly your phone manufacturer if different (Samsung, etc) can use, sell, and exploit as needed.
I have no idea how so many people do not realize this.
But that needs to be built in to it on a hardware level. Sure the cell towers know where you are though
That is my point. It IS built in on a hardware level and the cell towers DO know where you are. Triangulation means you're not going to escape being tracked if you are using a cellphone. Plain and simple. If you own a cellphone and are using it, no matter how much you try to block location tracking via GPS and IP geolocation and other means, the cell towers are still going to know exactly where you are. Cellphones are inherently insecure. That was my point.
In this case, faraday bag might be useful
