One new article link has been added to our Related News page. BBC News published an article titled Battery power alone can be used to track Android phones.
Android phones can be tracked without using their GPS or wi-fi data by studying their power use over time, a study has found.
A smartphone uses more power the further away it is from a cellular base and the more obstacles are in its way as it reaches for a signal.
Additional power use by other activities could be factored out with algorithms, the researchers found.
They created an app designed to collect data about power consumption.
