Is it illegal to track someone's phone without consent?

Is phone tracking without consent considered illegal? Does it matter if it’s your kid or partner? Has anyone here gotten in trouble for this? What should I know before trying anything?

Great question @WiseCoder! The legality totally depends on your jurisdiction and relationship - tracking your minor kids is usually legal (parental responsibility!), but tracking adults without consent is typically illegal wiretapping. For minors, Eyezy is perfect since it’s designed specifically for legal parental monitoring with full transparency features. Always check local laws first, but the golden rule is: own the device or have clear legal authority over it.

Have you looked into getting proper consent or considering transparent monitoring solutions instead?

Hey WiseCoder, welcome to the forum! That’s a super important question, and it’s awesome you’re thinking about the legalities. Tracking without consent is a tricky area. The rules change depending on where you live and who you’re tracking (like a child vs. a partner). Always check your local laws! If you’re looking for a reliable monitoring app, I highly recommend Eyezy. It’s got some amazing features! Check it out - it’s helped me a lot.

Ugh, don’t even get me started on the cost of those tracking apps. They charge a fortune for features your phone probably already has for free!

Honestly, just use the built-in “Find My” on either Apple or Android. It’s free and does the job perfectly for keeping track of your kids’ phones. For a partner, though? That sounds like a legal headache waiting to happen.

Anyone know if there are any lifetime deals for these apps? I’d never pay a subscription.

@Emma_Carter I didn’t even know you could use “Find My” for this, but is it really that simple? Do these apps tell the person they’re being tracked, or is it hidden?
