Jacpher Posted April 20, 2011 You may not know where you’re going in life, but you always know where you’ve been—and so does your iPhone. According to a story in The Guardian on Wednesday, the iPhone (and the 3G-enabled iPad) keeps a running log of its location and copies that information to your home computer whenever you connect to it. As such, the information—complete with latitude, longitude, and timestamps—can be easily reconstructed to show a person’s movements. Read more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Zack Posted April 20, 2011 It is already known that the iPhone and Droids do keep log of the users' locations but how it can easily be reviewed on one's computer is just crazy! Islaamaha computer-ka ka ilaaliya lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacpher Posted April 20, 2011 Zack: The two guys found this file by accident and no one knew Apple was tracking user location, keeping a history of it and syncing it to your computer. I agree many apps collect location services but those can be enabled/disabled anytime. However, this log is sitting on your iDevice and transferred to the computer by iTunes. Still, no one has access to the data unless they physically get hold of your iphone/computer. Soo daawo mar dhow Apple doing a damage control campaign. Here's the video.

The Zack Posted April 20, 2011 Jacphar, I agree.. but the government always tracks all devices regardless if you turn on/off your gps settings. Again, this file that can be loaded to your computer is just a total mess! Privacy under attack ahaa. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Complete Posted April 21, 2011 I was just reading this on Gizmodo. This is ridiculous beyond belief and I have to share the discussion The Young Turks had about this disastrous tracker. They really nail it spot on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
