    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.

        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.

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