If that was true, you would leave the windows and doors wide open while walking around the house naked, or even do some naked BBQ'ing outside.

~just kidding with you. You are right, too; there is no privacy anymore.

Yep. Quite true.

Though if I had enough distrust of my spouse to go stealthily installing snooping apps on his/her phone, I'd probably just save everyone the trouble and get a divorce.

As someone who was once stalked by an ex, I can tell you that such behavior is crazy.

Go to: Settings --> Privacy --> Location Services --> System Services (scroll to bottom) --> Frequent Locations (That's what you would turn off)


If you take a look at your history, you can see where you've been. For instance, I went to the doctor on Saturday, and it told me that I was there from 1:22pm to 2:58pm. Isn't this creepy? This could be a great way to track your kids.
Nope. Not creepy. It's an electronic device that has GPS. Your car probably knows where you've been, too.
