The new version, doesn't rely on that; it relies on other people constantly listening for your phone saying "help my owner has lost me, do you know where I am?" Then other people report your phone's location to google. Even the latest phones will have this 'beacon' running when they're switched off and a battery that's not even got enough charge to turn on (but *just* enough to run the bluetooth by itself). > Hence, since I'm not sure I understand your question, may I ask you... > *Isn't the way to opt out simply to not opt in?* Stan doesn't want to use-up his battery/bandwidth, listening out for other people's lost devices. Seems like he will be able to opt out.
