Could you track someone on your account w/o any permissions?

You need an initial permission for find my iPhone app, then you have free reign.

If you leave your GPS on your phone and your ex had previously signed into her Gmail account on it without logging off, then yes, you can be tracked through Google maps.

Bitches be crazy.

What account? What app? What phone?


The best answer for OP is "maybe, it depends"

Yes.

I'm assuming you're not referring to national assets but rather in a civilian context?

There are companies that can provide that service.  Normally it's done via SDK kernels associated with apps, originally for advertising purposes. When I was still involved in that stuff I had few companies come in and demo their capabilities.  Pretty interesting stuff with good fidelity and pattern of life data.

Lol, no.

The best answer is "depends who wants to know and how bad do they want to track you"

Remember the beginning of covid when Miami spring break shut down and they tracked all those kids cell phones throughout FL and showed the maps of dots on the nightly news? Hell yes they’re tracking you

My bud said he has gotten calls from his wife and she would ask him to go places that he was coincidentally very nearby.
Happens a lot.
Goes shooting on the slide and gets the cold shoulder at home.

He's thinking the phone, what about airtags or something similar?

If she has physical access to his phone then there's all sorts of options.  Tell him to look for the Live 360 app on his phone. She may have installed it and turned off his notifications.

What does slide mean, slang?
Slide means to leave or come through.

"Took a slide at work and went shooting."

There are a lot of ways to track a cellphone.

Sounds like a great relationship.

He could confront her about tracking his phone and have a conversation about why he feels like he has to lie to her about going shooting.

So he lies to her about going shooting.  She gets mad at him for going shooting (and probably lieing about it).  He thinks she is tracking his location without his knowledge.

I would just tell this person that you don't know and uninvolve yourself.  The relationship sounds like an unhealthy mess.

Do you not read the agreement when installing the app?
Basically by installing you grant them full access to your phone and its functions.
Also agree they can use your contacts, photos and videos on your phone however they please.

We have marketing firms that have crazy amounts of capabilities so I can only imagine what else is out there.

The challenge each of us faces as individuals is learning how to live in this world just as it is right now, and not in the fantasy of how we feel it should be. So I take common sense measures which work in the present moment, and enjoy the freedoms which are within my capability to secure.

I see people tethered to their "smart" hand held devices...




...so I simply choose not to be enslaved.
