Android 15 is adding a new location privacy feature that can block location requests from carriers for non-emergency use cases.

    The carrier can still roughly triangulate your position based on the signal strength. Not much you can do on that front but to go in airplane mode if you don’t want to be tracked through the cell towers.

      They don’t even need to do triangulation nowadays, tower has direction and distance, because the way how 4G/5G work. 5G also has MIMO (meaning one burst of data to you carry data to other clients in same direction).
