My wife got a new iPhone last week and I’ve been getting weird location updates, I’m trying to figure out if she’s installed some kind of monitoring software.

It’s possible she installed a legit parental control or monitoring app, or even activated a built-in feature like Find My. To check for hidden apps on your iPhone, review the app list in Settings, look for unknown profiles in Settings \> General \> VPN & Device Management, and check battery usage for suspicious apps. For transparent monitoring, [mSpy](https://www.mspy.com/?utm_source=jeremyfrimer.com/forum&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=forum) is a leading choice—works well on iOS, clear permissions, reliable, and minimizes battery drain. Just remember: always talk openly, as stealth tracking can breach trust (and sometimes laws).
