phone tracking
Digital position surveillance
Phone tracking is the monitoring of a mobile phone's location, typically through GPS, cell tower triangulation, or Wi-Fi signals.
It encompasses legitimate uses like finding a lost device or keeping tabs on family members, as well as surveillance by law enforcement, employers, or stalkers.
Parents often use phone tracking apps to know where their teenagers are.
The same technology enables location-based services and targeted advertising.
