Your phone can still track plenty of info it can upload when it gets a network connection again if that's the concern.

With a cliffhanger like that I'll try to guess ... number of steps taken?

Not really sure what else is realistic and what is hypothetical.

Cliffhanger? Other upvotes because they know what I'm talking about. No cliffhanger.

Think about all the positional sensots in your phone. Then think about what it knows before going into this bag...then after.

Time elapsed, steps taken, speed, direction faced, phone orientation...it can tell you almost exactly where you are without GPS.

Great idea, you could also use it to see how shit your signal is in certain buildings. In a world of apps with old ideas this is genuinely something interesting and different. Thanks dev.

Any Faraday bags around that y'all might recommend?

Any where the camera can still record audio and video?
