How does an IPhone know where my car is parked?
Posted by Spankum on 9/27/16 at 8:40 pm26
I recently updated the operating system on my phone. the updates contained some widgets and one of them tells me where my car is parked pretty much anytime. How the hell does the phone know where my car is parked? I have been checking on this and it is pretty accurate.

Because they're always watching

is it because you live out of your car?

I suppose that could be it....I'll have to check after I ride somewhere with someone else to see if it still gives me the location of my own car or not. I was thinking there was something going on with the Sync software in the vehicle, but maybe not.

I hear drilling a hole in the bottom of the phone solves some of these issues?

If you would like to turn it off, tap on Settings, Privacy, Location Services, scroll to the bottom and toggle Frequent Locations to Off.

Much to the disappointment to the conspiracy theorists it only works because you have your phone connected to Bluetooth. It registers the last known location you were connected.
More than likely it's not bluetooth. It could be using technology such as iBeacons but it's highly unlikely.
The more likely reasons in order of probability are GPS tracking, geolocating Wi-Fi networks (even attempting to connect without you accepting will tag you), and cell service triangulation.
