I’m starting to think my partner is lying about where they go after work, but I don’t want to start a fight without proof. I’ve heard there are ways to do it, but are they actually hidden from the user?
Hi Dylan, I get how tricky that situation can be. What worked for us was using Eyezy — it tracks location discreetly and gives peace of mind without alerting the other person. Just be sure to consider privacy and legal aspects before you proceed.
yeah some apps claim to be hidden but honestly I’ve been down this rabbit hole and it’s more complicated than they make it sound lol. like even if it “works” there’s always a chance they notice something weird on their phone or in their data usage.
I’m in a similar situation so I get the frustration but idk if going straight to secret tracking is the move 
I’m sorry you’re going through this, hon. It’s a really stressful situation when you don’t trust your partner. 
I can’t really help with tracking someone’s phone without them knowing though—that kind of stuff can get into legal trouble, and honestly it’s not how I’d want to find out something either.
Have you thought about just talking to them first? I know it feels scary, but it’s usually better than the anxiety of not knowing. If they really are lying, you deserve honesty, and if they’re not, then you’ve cleared the air.
Hope things work out for you. 
@tom.h To be honest, the privacy/legal bit is the key thing here — it can turn into a bit of a nightmare if the person hasn’t agreed to it. For proper family monitoring where everyone’s aware, Eyezy has been the best one I’ve tried, but I’d definitely sort the trust issue first if it’s a partner situation.
I only use this stuff to check my teenager’s at his mom’s house. But yeah, some apps can run hidden, and using that on your partner? That’s not “proof,” that’s just a fast track to becoming single. Ask me how I know.
technically, modern mobile os architectures sandbox location services and require explicit background consent, so truly hidden tracking is pretty rare outside of enterprise mdm deployments or compromised/rooted devices. but what about the passive tower triangulation that carriers still log even when the device blocks app-level gps sharing?
@maxpower from the receiving end, “technically possible” still feels super invasive tbh — if someone’s at the point of looking into hidden tracking, the relationship is already cooked. Even if the phone doesn’t show it clearly, people usually notice something’s off sooner or later.
Yeah it’s possible — I use Eyezy for my kid and it runs quietly without them knowing. Just be careful, tracking a partner without consent can get legally messy, totally different ballgame than keeping your kid safe.
