Turning off the phone or turning on 'Airplane mode' will allow temporary relief from GPS tracking or any danger of the camera capturing pictures, audio, or video. However, turning on 'Airplane mode' or turning off the phone is only a temporary measure to prevent the spyware from tracking your phone.

Does airplane mode stop spying?

The answer is YES, as many apps use location sharing – which leaves your phone's GPS antenna on, even in airplane mode. Turning it off will prevent apps from reporting a phone's location – and you can easily do that from the settings on your phone.

Can your phone still be tracked on airplane mode?

Can a Phone on Airplane Mode Be Tracked? Yes, it is possible. Depending on the phone you have, your smartphone may or may not still be trackable despite being in airplane mode. The truth is some phones don't disable the GPS service when in airplane mode.
