what info can cell towers get from users?

238 views

With the Idaho case, it seems like the government can get a lot of info from cell towers (location) and what apps were using at what time.

Is this true? What else can they get?

To my knowledge, they can figure out your location from cell towers because phones typically ping cell towers that are closeby. Cell towers don’t move, and so if a phone is pinging a specific tower at a specific time, odds are the user was close to that tower at that time. I’m not sure about app data.
