   I can barely remember to take /one/ phone out!   
      
   I've turned off all I can, but I'm not convinced that is all I need to   
   do. As I noticed a couple of years ago, I hadn't even been aware of   
   "fused location", and I only found that because it use "location" in its   
   name. Well, even assuming the phone can track me, I use it only for very   
   limited browsing when I'm out. I have no pay or banking apps on it.
