Q: can my iphone still be tracked on airplane mode

Hi,

Yes, putting your phone into Airplane mode will stop this as Airplane mode prevents your phone from being able to connect to the network. You could also disable wifi/mobile data or location services, this will also prevent the tracking.

Hope this helps!

You put it in airplane mode it's not a phone anymore. you turn off all the antennas and basically you're carrying around an expensive MP3 player.

Speaking as someone that's probably old enough to be your mom....well if you don't do something your mom will disprove of, what does it matter if she knows where you are? Maybe if she knows she can trust you she will take off the app. Someone knowing where you are could save your life some day.

Why would you not want your mom to know where you are?

I'm sure it's a great comfort to her to know your whereabouts, and you don't have to be bothered with phoning home to check in.

Who bought your iPhone?

Was it your money, or your Mom's?

Keep in mind that your mother will most likely be able to tell you've put your phone in Airplane mode. This may cause her a lot of worry. She may even panic and call the police. Can you imagine how much trouble you'll be in if that happens? Even if she only knows you circumvented the tracking, you'll probably still get into trouble.

If my child were to do that on a phone I paid the bill for, there would be some very dire consequences.
