Also known as stalkerware or spouseware, these kinds of phone monitoring apps are often planted by someone — such as spouses or domestic partners — with physical access to a person’s phone, without their consent or knowledge.
Man. The fact that stalkerware is used so often on people’s domestic partners that they call it “spouseware” is pretty fuckin’ bleak.
Also, how is that not illegal?
Damn, you aren’t kidding. Also, people, just a little advice from an old man, if you feel the need to stalk/spy on your SO, just understand the relationship is already over and move one without doing this kind of shit.

The software itself is legal because it’s just software.
Yes, but how is its use legal??
Some places won’t even allow you to record a phone conversation that you are a part of, without the other person’s consent.
But actually spying on a grown adult, so you can read all their text messages, social media posts, have access to their passwords, location, photos, etc… seems completely wrong.

I could only mildly understand using something like it on your small childs computer, but anything more than that is awful.
