The internet is filled with rumors suggesting that iPhone and Android devices tracking user location via your mobile devices. Imagine somebody following you all the time, it's just these companies are your virtual stalkers that store your location data i.e. tracks you everywhere which is a serious privacy concern. PCMag inquired Microsoft about this issue and they have cleared that Windows Phone 7 devices do not store location history.
p.s - Steve Jobs has denied that iPhones store location data and has instead accused Android of store location data.. I believe you, Mr. Jobs ;)
Microsoft told PCMag unequivocally that phones running Windows Phone 7 do not store location history. Like most other phones, the platform offers plenty of location-based apps, and those apps require user consent before they begin tracking. Windows Phones also offer the common feature of a "global switch" that lets the user disable all location services, and Microsoft says its "Find My Phone" service keeps only the phone's most recent location.Well, WP7 users take breath a sigh of relief. At least we aren't being stalked, another reason to migrate to Windows phone platform ? You decide.
