Mobile carriers can get your GPS location

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

The article discusses how Apple’s iOS 26.3 privacy update limits precise location data available to cellular networks, but GNSS coordinates can still be transmitted to carriers via control-plane protocols like RRLP and LPP. It traces historical use of such data by agencies, notes Israel’s COVID-19 contact tracing context, and raises security concerns about potential remote exploitation, while advocating user controls to disable GNSS responses and to notify users when such requests occur.
