There are buildings that do not allow cell phones.
For these buildings, it's common to leave your phone in your car.

I found that OnePlus android allows you to toggle mobile data and WiFi data per app, by the way. Pixel and Samsung only allow that for mobile. Semi related.

#17I don't understand how targeted ads on Grindr can be used to get peoples locations.
Does the ad auction tell the users current location? Does grindr let you run your own auction bidder on your own machine?

Even if not allowed in the building people will still want to carry a personal phone so it likely just stays in their car right outside the building in the parking lot.
