    You can’t, even when you disable location it still keeps track of where you are with cell towers and some GPS. It just doesn’t tell you that it still is collecting data.

      I didn’t mean disable it in software, I meant physically disable it by stuffing the phone in a Faraday cage (you can buy them for phones in the form of pouches with metal worked into them), which blocks electromagnetic radiation and therefore prevents the phone from contacting towers or satellites.

      Leave your phone at home sometimes, and when you need the abortion, just do that!

      As in, every time you go on a walk, leave your phone at home, and then they lack of data will just be normal.
