    They didn’t before? This is Google we are talking about. If nothing else they need your location for Google maps data.

    It is a great time to degoogle your life.

      Unless you physically remove the entire SIM module from your phone, this is not solvable. I have a degoogled phone too, but as long as you use a SIM card, you are being tracked.

        You aren’t being tracked by Google. Also cell tower tracking is much harder than just querying a GPS service.
