I hadn’t thought of it that way, BenJ_Thoughts—can you explain more? The distinction between tracking through WhatsApp versus tracking the device itself makes a lot of sense. It clarifies why you can’t just ‘hack’ the app for a location.
So, if an app is tracking the phone’s GPS data at the device level, does that mean it’s constantly running in the background? I’m curious about how that affects things like the phone’s battery life or performance. Does it slow everything down, or is it designed to be unnoticeable?
