That's one piece of evidence of many a prosecutor and/or jury would take into consideration; just like the other way around.
I'm sure someone has tried to use their digital records as an alibi.
No, because people leave their phone at home all the time, but phones rarely go on trips without the owner.
So, send phone on trip to "prove" I wasn't somewhere else; put it in my kids backpack, fix it under my neighbours car.
So you put it in your kid's backpack and later the police will see that you spent your day in an elementary school. Does not seem like a very good alibi. The same is true for your neighbor, they will see that you spent your day in the parking lot of your neighbor's workplace, pretty suspicious.
So put in your wife’s purse and say you spent the day with your wife (maybe spousal privelege would be useful there)
Or hide it in a bar or at your workplace for a day
