If I turn of wifi and remove cellular permission and also turn of cellular data, can apps track you still?

Wish there was a Wifi/Internet permission similar to Cellular where you had to explicitly permit apps to access the internet

    Yup, you are right. Phones will keep collecting data point. It will upload as soon as it gets connected. But location can still be provided near realtime via Bluetooth on newer Android and iOS devices. This will happen even if device is offline.
