I will say that I was on a jury for a murder trial back in 2018 that presented cellphone evidence as to the defendants location.
It was purely based on triangulation based on which tower the cellphone was connected to, so not precise at all (narrow down to a few city blocks).
So at least back in 2018, precise location was not possible.
That said the baseband modem in the phone could certainly be updated to collect and automatically send GPS based location data (notwithstanding security on the device).
