How do they know? How is it possible?

However, I am using the phone to black hat market mutiple social media accounts so that is not an option.

How do you run multiple social media accounts and not get in trouble? Separate phone profiles? Also interested in doing so.

This has nothing to do with any OS in particular. Like someone already explained this is engineering/telecommunication thing that can override your proxy in case of an emergency. Imagine being in a hurricane zone in the time of emergency broadcast and you are on VPN. If those overrides haven't existed you'd be dead. Same goes for Amber Alert and/or other similar services.

To make it simple for you. Local cell tower (cell site) exactly knows your location in any moment no matter which SIM you have installed or whether you use VPN or not. Every cell site know because your device "pings" them all by signal strength until receives response from "home" network's cell site.

EDIT: VPN and other "proxy" solutions operate on higher OSI layers (4 and above but mostly on layer 7), while emergency services are on physical, data link or network layer (depends on implementation and network generation).

Well this good to know, because my main curiosity in knowing this was to make sure I wasn't also letting the social media companies know where I am at.

However, I noticed for example... on the email tied to the social accounts that it will say "new log in at X location" even tho the location services are completely off. For this example I had a profile where to model was logged into France (location services off - even though I could still see in the email new log into France), and I logged in to her account from Romania on a proxy with location off, and again... email notification new log in from Romania.

I am using Shadowrocket proxy tool with very good RES proxies (the issue happens with mobile as well).

I checked the actual proxy itself on pixelscan, browserleaks, IP score and scamilitics for DNS leaks etc, to make sure that is not how they were detecting it.. I saw nothing wrong. So this why I am so confused, seeking BHW's assisstance...

I know.... I assumed that something was left on as well... I am telling you I checked all the settings and they are off. I'm obviously missing something.

If you really want that they shouldn't be able to detect your location, you can root your mobile device and configure a 4G mobile proxy. It will make you look like you are operating from the other country as you will have the real IP address provided by the proxy.

So there is a tool withing Graphene that allows you to location spoof. But I was reading the Graphene forum and everyone is saying its "very easy" for them to detect I am spoofing location in developer mode.

In addition to that, I cannot run Dev mode on mutiple profiles so even if that were a solution, it wouldn't help me since it's tied to the owner profile only.

4g is usually for social media account.
