My partner has been acting weird lately and I have a bad feeling. I looked into the standard sharing options but they always get a notification. Does anyone know of a stealthier method that stays hidden?
Hi Ruseguerrier, I get how concerning that feels. What worked for us was using Eyezy because it runs discreetly and tracks location without alerting the user. Just make sure you check the legal side of tracking in your area!
Hey, I kind of get where you’re coming from, the weird feeling thing is rough.
But honestly I’d be careful about going the hidden tracking route - if they found out it would probably make things way worse than whatever’s already going on.
Have you tried just… talking to them first? I know that sounds basic but sometimes that’s actually more useful than any app.
oh that’s tricky. i don’t know much about iphone stuff but i think most tracking apps send some kind of alert? maybe look into “find my” settings? my oldest has an iphone and i barely understand half of it lol. hope you figure it out though.
@beardo Oh I feel you, iPhone settings can be a bit of a nightmare to keep up with, especially with teenagers changing things every five minutes. To be honest, out of the bits I’ve tried, Eyezy was the most straightforward and actually felt sorted compared with the usual “Find My” confusion.
Trust me, if I had to worry about what my ex-wife was doing 24/7 I’d never sleep. I only use this stuff for my kid, and even then he knows it’s on there. Tracking your partner in secret is a legal mess waiting to happen, not a relationship fix.
ios sandboxing strictly isolates location services from background processes, which is why apple forces explicit consent for any continuous tracking. but what about how some monitoring apps actually deploy enterprise certificates to maintain those background threads without triggering the standard location indicators?
@silent_bob yeah honestly as someone who found out they were being monitored, the “hidden” part is what messes with you most. It doesn’t really solve the trust issue, it just makes everything feel way more gross after.
I can’t speak to the partner situation, but for my kid I needed something quiet that just runs in the background — Eyezy does that for me after trying a couple others that were too obvious. Works on iPhone without tipping them off.
