iPhone Spying On You?

leave a comment »

In response to many of our customers asking us information regarding the rumors of the iPhone spying on its owner – we did a little digging and have some answers!

Yes – our  beloved iPhones are programmed to keep data about our longitude and latitude along with the timestamp.  This information is stored for popular applications such as Yelp, and Facebook to use. When you run your yelp application it uses this information to suggest local places of interest to you.

One could consider this spying while others do not. What ever your opinion may be – if you want to disable this feature and turn off this tracking then simply go into cydia and install “untrackered”.

Mission complete!
