There's A Secret iPhone Menu That's Covertly Stalking You

Is Siri asleep? Good.

Your iPhone has been keeping tabs on you...and you might not even know it.

The information in this hidden menu includes precise dates of the visits along with the length of time spent there on each visit. Which might seem reletively harmless but it's actually terrifying.

Imagine for instance that your phone was stolen. Armed with this sort of know-how, the thieves could instantly find out a) where you live, b) where you work, c) the average hours you spend at these addresses, and d) your unhealthy obsession with late night trips to Chicken Cottage.

There are countless reasons why being clueless about this underlying geotagging tech feature is not good for business. Once you start digging into this data it’s sort of like finding a CIA surveillance unit planted on you, permanently.
