iPhones infidelity app may reveal your secret flings!

Two British software developers recently exposed that the Apple iPhone saves the users locations and movements,along with a time and date stamp,and stores them in a file. 

It then copies the data to the owners computer whenever the two are synchronised.

Apple has made it possible for almost anybody a jealous spouse,a private detective with access to your phone or computer to get detailed information about where youve been, the Daily Mail quoted Pete Warden,one of the researchers who discovered the file,as saying.

Warden and his fellow researcher Alasdair Allan have set up a web page giving away a programme that lets Apple users check what location data their phone is storing. Other GPS-enabled smartphones do not have the same function,they said.

Although mobile phone networks routinely record the locations of customers handsets,this information is only available to police and other government agencies under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act.

In contrast,if a thief were to steal an iPhone,he could extract the location database directly.

And anyone with access to an iPhone users computer could run Warden and Allans application and see a map of the phones movements.

Using the programme,they can also view the phones location on a specific date,see all the locations a user has ever visited with their phone,or create an animated map of its movements over time.

It is understood the tracking started with Apples iOS 4 update,published in June 2010,meaning that some phones could contain almost a years worth of data on their owners whereabouts.
