In the literal sense. Your traffic is proxied through devices belonging to unwilling strangers.

    By “your traffic” you mean device location reports? Or something else?

      Yes. It's "edge routing" that happens to be restricted to a single operator.

      The data that powers the app tracking your devices, shown on your devices, yes.

      (What else?)

        I don’t know. I wouldn’t have thought of myself as proxying other people’s traffic by carrying my iPhone around. (For one thing, it’s my own phone that initiates all the activity- it monitors for Apple devices, the devices don’t reach out to my phone.) I can see how you could frame it that way, though. I just thought they might be referring to something else that I didn’t know about.
