The radios within a smartphone that facilitate tracking can’t be turned off with certainty, even when the device is powered down. To close this gap, we’ve partnered with Samsung on a unique integration providing strong assurance that such radios in the latest Galaxy phones are indeed turned off when specified.

For a deep dive into this problem and how we’re solving it, read our [newest business paper](https://blog.privoro.com/hubfs/Whitepapers/Making%20your%20phone%20invisible%20to%20tracking%20is%20harder%20than%20you%20think.pdf), “Making your phone invisible to tracking is harder than you think.”

From this piece, you’ll learn:

- How the software-based nature of radio controls leaves them susceptible to spyware
- How manipulated radio controls can spell disaster in the real world
- How the integration between SafeCase and Galaxy phones provides strong assurance of radio states
