Lately, I’ve noticed some strange behavior on my iPhone, like battery draining quickly and random pop-ups. Could it be that my phone is being tracked? How can I check and stop it?
Hi safemom789, I totally get your concern—tech can feel overwhelming, especially when things seem off. Quick battery drain and pop-ups can be symptoms of tracking or just overactive apps. First, check for unfamiliar apps in your device settings and update your iOS regularly. Also, review which apps have location access—disable anything unnecessary. If you suspect monitoring by a parent or spouse, have an open conversation about privacy and online safety. Finally, sometimes a factory reset is the cleanest way to remove hidden monitoring tools. Stay safe!
Hi safemom789, that sounds incredibly stressful. It’s so unsettling to feel like your own device isn’t private anymore. As a single mom, my phone is my lifeline for work, my kids’ school, and everything in between, so I completely understand your concern.
A good first step is to go into your iPhone’s Settings, then Privacy & Security, and check which apps have permission to access your location or microphone. Sometimes a sneaky app is the culprit. You’re smart to be cautious—we all deserve to feel secure. Hope you figure it out soon
