Yeah, I forgot about triangulation. But I highly doubt my government is routinely gathering triangulation data on citizens, and especially not generally law abiding citizens like me. I suppose I could use a faraday cage to guarantee no tracking, but that’s well in the “tin foil hat” category of paranoia.
I use GrapheneOS and disable location most of the time, and sensor access is disabled for most apps. My firewall only allows a handful of apps to access mobile data, and I disable mobile data entirely fairly frequently. I only use Google Play for a handful of services, and they’re in a separate profile so they get fully closed when I’m done with them.
The government could subpoena information about me, but I doubt they routinely collect the sort if information that my phone exposes.
If you where targeted by a state actor there is not much you could do honestly. They have more resources, more knowledge and more time then any one person. The truth is almost everybody is not going to be targeted.
