Mobile phone(S) to help Nest control heating

SkinDoc

Just learning about this nest system having had a new boiler put in. It says that the system can use mobile phone location to decide whether the occupant is in or out of the house.
 But what happens if there are more than one person living in the house. I don’t want it to turn off the heating because I am out and it can tell due to my mobile phone position, but my partner is still in the house.
Can anyone help?

It'll use the phones of every household member, not just yours, to determine if anybody is home (along with potentially many other things).

Take a look at this article for more detailed information about how presence sensing works.
