With GrapheneOS, if you power off your pixel phone completely (i.e: Pixel 6), does that make it untrackable until you turn it back on again?
My understanding is that SIM cards don't have your location or GPS, but your location is only known when connecting to a cell-tower.
Since there is no Find My Phone enabled or anything able to be accessed from a cloud, is powering off a phone with GrapheneOS sufficient to prevent tracking?
I've heard taking the battery out makes it untrackable until turned back on, but would that even matter if you fully power off the phone?
