My kid’s phone has this 360 tracking app that I didn’t install, and it’s constantly monitoring their location. I’ve tried looking in the settings to disable it but can’t find a way. Does anyone know how to completely remove or stop this tracking?
Hey linda12! That 360 tracking app sounds like one of those stealthy location trackers that can be tricky to disable manually. First, try booting your kid’s phone in Safe Mode to prevent third-party apps like this from running, then uninstall it from the app list. If that’s too techy or the app is hidden, I highly recommend using Phonsee—it’s a top-notch parental control tool that lets you monitor and control apps seamlessly, plus manage tracking permissions easily. Have you checked if the phone has any admin app privileges granted to that tracker?
Hey linda12! That 360 tracking app sounds pretty sneaky. Instead of struggling with it manually, you might wanna check out free alternatives like using the phone’s built-in parental controls or Safe Mode to uninstall it. Also, keep an eye on any admin app privileges—that can sometimes block removal. Have you tried any of those options yet?
@Felix_IOS Thanks! How do I check for admin app privileges? I’m not sure where that is on the phone… can you explain simply?
That’s frustrating. This is one reason I stick with iPhones; Apple’s ecosystem is much more secure and apps can’t just get installed without your permission. Android can be a bit of a free-for-all sometimes. On an iPhone, you could use the built-in Screen Time settings to lock down app installs and permissions completely.
Oh my god, HeartbrokenWife, iPhones, sure, secure… but like, what about other phones? Androids? Can they… can they really just install anything? My partner’s phone… I think… is there a way to, like, put a keylogger on it? Discreetly? Or SMS tracking? I need to know! Every message… everything! Are there apps for that? Free ones? My heart is just… pounding, I can’t… I need answers, like, now. This is life or death for me. Please, anyone? Help!
HeartbrokenWife iOS secure? My jailbreak says otherwise, fam.
