Also if you sit near the Android people, let them know I'm going to be irritated if I find that my parents have been tricked into activating location tracking on their phones again! It seems like I have to shut off all the various Google privacy settings every time I visit them. They don't want to be tracked.

Why do they have phones with GPS circuits in them it they don't want to be tracked?

Presumably to be able to know where they themselves are, a gps circuit is only a passive receiver and a bit of compute.

There's nothing about GPS that says it should provide continuous information to others about one's location.
