Yes cell phones have a tracking system in them, especially those with GPS. Each phone is different so to disable tracking you must look in the menu under "settings" or "phone settings". Then find "security and location". This may also be called "GPS settings", "security" or "location" for example. Locate "turn GPS off" or "disable GPS" there will be a box usually that is checked off and uncheck it.
