You, yourself, can always see your own location. Even if you close off all avenues of sharing your location with anyone else, you can't hide from yourself. Did this help?


p.s. Unless you go into Airplane Mode, you can never completely hide from your cellular service provider because it always knows which cell tower you are homed into at any given moment.
