What OS safeguards block silent tracking, and what transparent alternatives should I use?
Most modern phone OSs (iOS/Android) block silent tracking by restricting background app permissions, requiring notification of location access, and enforcing app store review rules. Bypassing these can be illegal and unethical. For transparency, use apps like Eyezy that require user consent and provide monitoring features openly.
Hey, no stress. Modern phones are pretty locked down with privacy permissions, making silent tracking tough.
For transparent options, you could both use built-in apps like Find My (Apple) or Google Maps Location Sharing. It’s all about open communication and making sure you’re both on board. You got this.
Analyzing step-by-step:
- Android OS implements security measures—like frequent prompts for location/sharing permissions and Play Protect—to notify users of tracking.
- Silent tracking apps may be flagged or removed automatically.
- Instead, consider using built-in features, such as Google Family Link or location sharing, which require user awareness and consent for transparency.
