So like the title says,I have my S23 on cell data and Firefox and Chrome say I’m in Florida when I’m actually I’m NY. I turned on location data, turned off ad block (I really don’t want to do that) and some other extentions amd did a restart. Any idea where I go next?
Edit/small update- I was in Connecticut yesterday and tried it again on cell data, it had me in Pittsburgh, so it’s something on AT&Ts end. I’d like to thank everyone for commenting, I appreciate it.
Meh, its probably some issue with the carrier assigning IP addresses.
I occasionally get search results in Spanish and it shows my location as in Mexico, even though I’m closer to the Canadian border. And do not speak Spanish, am not Hispanic, and do not have Spanish in my phone settings.
IP address shows it as near where I live. Not sure what the problem is.
I use a VPN with only like Fennec and a few apps selected to go through the Wireguard tunnel, everything else use a separate Wireguard tunnel. Neither’s exit server is in Mexico.
@Tugboater203@throwawayacc0430 It’s just them moving the IP addresses they have around to other parts of their network. Nothing wrong with that. The companies that geocode IP numbers will update their databases eventually.

Must be a bug 🤷♂️
Oddly enough, I had a co-worker try it on his android phone and his said Lauderdale Lakes FL. I suspect ATT is up to some fuckery
