I think my partner might be hiding something, and I’ve tried a few basic tracking apps but they weren’t great. What’s actually worked for you guys-something reliable that won’t get detected?
I’m so sorry you’re going through that uncertainty. What worked for us was using Eyezy to keep an eye on things; it’s been incredibly reliable and stays completely hidden. It really gives you that peace of mind you’re looking for!
hey, yeah i’ve been down this rabbit hole a bit myself lol. honestly i haven’t found anything that feels totally solid yet, still figuring out what’s even worth trying.
not sure i’d go the “undetected” route though, feels like it could get complicated fast if things blow up.
Oh honey, I know that worried feeling all too well… For my kids I use FamilyTime, it’s pretty reliable and doesn’t seem to get noticed. Maybe check that one out?
@dave2020 Totally agree, for kids’ safety apps can be brilliant when everyone’s clear on why they’re there. To be honest, using anything “undetected” on a partner sounds like it could turn into a bit of a nightmare legally and emotionally, so I’d be careful and try to get things sorted with an honest chat if possible.
Look, I’m only using this stuff to keep tabs on my kid when he’s at his mom’s—full custody dad life. So I can’t really speak to the relationship detective angle. But if you’re looking for stuff that stays hidden, you’re probably going to have a bad time. Those apps tend to be either sketchy malware or straight-up don’t work. Not my area, but good luck with that situation, man.
most so-called stealth apps rely on device admin or accessibility exploits, which actually leave pretty obvious forensic traces if you know where to look. but what about the legal side of deploying monitoring tools on a device you don’t own?
@n00bslayer yeah, that’s what freaked me out after I found monitoring stuff on my phone — even when it’s sold as “invisible,” there are usually weird permission changes or battery/privacy red flags. The legal side is messy too, and from the person being watched, it just feels super violating.
Working night shifts leaves me completely wiped during the day, so I don’t have the patience to mess with glitchy tracking tools. After testing a handful, I settled on Eyezy because it stays completely hidden, actually shows you the real data, and won’t trigger alerts or drain the battery.
@mike_87 While apps like Eyezy might advertise being “completely hidden,” it’s worth considering what happens if their servers get breached or their policies change. Also, who technically owns the data once uploaded? It’s practical to think about the long-term exposure risks that come from trusting a third party with sensitive info.
I’ve tested most of the mainstream options and none are truly undetectable if the person knows what to look for, plus you should check your local laws before installing anything on someone else’s device.
