Prevent iPhone From Tracking Your Location

Security researchers have revealed that iPhone tracks user’s location and stores it in a secret hidden file which is replicated to the computer once it’s synchronized with the device.

The file contains data about your latitude and longitude along with the timestamp. This information can be easily accessed by jailbreaking the phone, unfortunately, on the computer even without that. Moreover, the file is not encrypted and can be read by just anyone using a simple app.

Now a new Cydia app called Untrackerd can easily prevent your jailbroken iPhone from tracking down all the locations and saving it to a secretly hidden database file.

Continuously clean up locationd’s history data in the background.
This package installs a daemon (process that can run in the background) to clean the consolidated.db file

Available for free on Cydia under BigBoss repository, simply search for Untrackerd on Cydia and install it to prevent your iPhone from tracking your location.
You will, of course, need to have a jailbroken iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to install it.
