Find My IPhone

Depending on your iPhone settings, it will STILL track location in find my iPhone and life 360 (if installed - popular family tracking app) even powered down.

Having been in your situation before, here is EXACTLY what I did to work around it, with no office or other place I was "supposed to be" to leave the phone. This also depends heavily on you having a burner phone for hobbying. Let me just say, a burner has its complications (i.e. spouse finding it, knowing you don't have 2 phones otherwise) but it outweighs them with good.

Find out where the incall is and along the way but close by, find a Home Depot or Lowes with those storage sheds outside. Act like you're looking in them for a few minutes, and slid your main phone on one of the rafters, or other hidden spot in the thing. Go do your incall, using burner for directions, alert your there etc.. , then come back and retrieve the phone. It's easy to explain away you had a shit signal in Home Depot, and that you spent an hour there fucking off and didn't see her texts. Especially if the place has a elotes/nacho/hot dog cart.

Again there's risk, but I never lost my phone. They're pretty much empty and void of people 99% of the time. This won't work after closing hours either, even if blogs are left open, the cops aren't going to like you prowling if they see you.

My ex wife caught me hobbying once. I like to say I talked my way out of it, but I just prolonged a divorce for a couple more miserable years (lots of issues). She then tracked my phone and watched money like a hawk. There's always a way.

Thanks for all the feedback but I I found a solution that I’d like to share with the group. This won’t help many of you but “I had to turn off location services” because it interferes with a few of my “work programs/apps”.

Problem solved….for now!

I’ll share my reviews as they happen.

If I were in your position which I'm glad I'm not cuz I'm upstanding human being and pillar the community.

Here's what I would do. Buy a Android burner phone. Leave your iPhone at the office and call forward it to the burner.

Great advice 213674 - I did basically the same thing or sometimes I’d leave the phone near their customer service area, where I knew an employee would find and hold on to. After my nooner, I’d go back to the store and see if anyone “found” it …. I’ve buried a burner phone in the store in multiple pieces as well.

" to break up the regular Home Depot trips. On the plus side my power tool collection grew exponentially as well.

Damn some of these posts make me wonder if I should offer up my location as a placeholder for peoples phones. I’m in the mid cities area, located by a blood donation center. People could easily come by drop off phone and say giving blood.. would even allow a drop off area and pick up for easy access.

Me tooo…. There were rows and rows of them. Coin operated. You leave stuff in them for years.

Switching to android in your family life won't help. Google location and location sharing exists there too.
Hell, I used it recently to see which bar I went to in Canada back in 2018.

I agree with the second phone idea. Maybe a cheap ass bare bones android. Establish a complete hobbying ecosystem outside your normal google logins. Proton Mail is pretty good for that. I agree GPS Spoofing is not a sustainable idea(and the lack of reliability). Leave the hobby phone at work or at least outside of home if you can. Wouldn’t want to end up facing close calls with managing both using your personal phone. If SO is already catching on to ON/OFF location sharing then it isn’t long until your Maps timeline comes under scrutiny. Best of luck Originally Posted by uchihamadara16

The issue isn't a hooker tracking you, it's your family seeing where you're at, anyone here can be caught, there's $20 GPS units, air tags, phone planted/or left behind

Use a second iOS device (iPhone or iPad) that is in the same iCloud account. In privacy settings of that device choose “use this device for location sharing). Leave that device at office. Your location will be broadcast as the office. When your visit is offer go to same setting in your phone and turn it back on as your location sharing device. Don’t forget this step or you will get a call “I thought you were going to Ranger game but you are at the office”.

Share your location (people) but don’t share your device location in find my.

Just leave the goddamn phone at the office! Getting some pussy shouldn't be this hard. It's not espionage. You shouldn't have to be James Bond to get laid like James Bond
