100 sats \ 5 replies \ @kepford 9 Apr \ on: Pixel 8 can be tracked whilst powered off security
Two words.
Faraday bag.
I'm not sure how this tracking works without power but if you have a phone on you and you don't want anyone to know your location you need to block the radio signals.
I wonder if they are using NFC or other devices if it actually works with the power off.

The device finding would be done via Bluetooth, would work similar to Find My where you need to be in reasonable, but not very close proximity of the device.

Nice. Is it possible to buy trousers with Faraday pockets? :-)

Possible? Sure. Practical? Seems silly.
