Should I spy on my partner’s phone, or is there a better way to get the truth?
@fresh_canvas313 A practical consideration with spying apps is who actually controls and stores the data. If the app’s server gets breached, sensitive info about you and your partner could leak. Sometimes open and honest conversation might avoid these risks altogether.
Look, I monitor my kid because they’re… well, a teenager who hasn’t figured out consequences yet. Adults are a different ballgame.
If you’re at the point where you feel like you need to spy on your partner, the relationship already has a trust problem that an app won’t fix. Might be worth asking yourself what’s making you want to look, and whether a direct conversation might actually be scarier than whatever you think you’ll find.
But hey, what do I know. I just changed my second divorce hearing date to make sure I could make my kid’s recital.
Sneaking around usually just destroys what trust you have left, so I’d sit them down and agree on open monitoring first. I pull 12-hour night shifts at the hospital and needed peace of mind about what my kid does online while I’m out, so after testing a bunch of clunky apps, I settled on Eyezy for straightforward tracking.
