  • If you have an iPhone you can go ahead and try Flight Mode right now. You’ll see that it disconnects from WiFi and disables cellular. NFC, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi stay powered on, Bluetooth stays active. Yes, latest iOS has Bluetooth tracking protection on by default (varies by country, illegal in some), but it is not completely safe. I’m not sure about NFC and Wi-Fi. If you power the phone off it is unlikely to turn off the radios - they are needed for “find my iPhone” and similar features on Google and Samsung Galaxy phones.

    Overall you can’t be confident that your phone does not reveal your location and identity to “law enforcement”, especially in places where police is well equipped to track you.

    This software will not solve the problem - and is probably not even meant to. The company is likely harvesting data to abuse users or sell it.

    No extent of privacy invasion will solve cheating. I have made - as a fun university project - demo cheats that do not even need to run on the same computer as the game. They give significant competitive advantage, and detection systems give too many false-positives to even begin to counter these.
