Forgot to turn off Bluetooth. Apple phones activate it automatically to keep up their tracking network anywhere.
Just going from your home to anywhere and coming back with a burner phone doesnt make sense. You have to turn it off before going anywhere near your home.
Okay just no.
Good advice. Flight mode too. Also disable 2G and 3G, which poorly still is impossible in Germany.
Now advise for that messenger again? Trust me bro.
Trust me bro 2.
