While everyone knows about the app - it does still have some sort of stigma attached to it that gives it a bad reputation. My wife loves the app when we can locate a missing device, but then will insist that I remove the app because she doesn’t want to be tracked and that it feels creepy.
I let her know I don’t use any of the tracking features and if I do have to locate it I tell her I am.
It has become less of an issue with her now that she switched to an iPhone. Thanks to the restrictive policies of iOS (no root access, no background processes, etc) - we can’t use this app with Apple. It also points out the limits of Find My iPhone - there really isn’t a viable Apple version for those who need this utility.
I do know that most of these spy apps that people install on their spouses iPhone require the device to be Jailbroken (rooted). This means the phone has to be out of service for a short while and in the possession of the husband in order to JB it. Also, the latest version of iOS has not been rooted yet - and it gets harder with each new version.
So one good thing is that you should be suspicious if a spouse decides to “gift” you an iPhone, especially one that hasn’t been updated to the latest version…
