That article made me feel like I was being trolled. She cannot be serious. It had to have been written that way intentionally for shock value.
That is some controlling, creepy shit.
This.
Also how can it work if the phone is dead? You just forget a tracking app? "He just ever so helpfully popped on the computer to track my exact whereabouts for my pal" No.
I'm pretty sure there are less invasive apps in the rare instance where someone is laying unconscious on the side of the road and needs to be found. This was not installed out of a concern for safety. And he put it on his teenaged kids phones?? So he can listen in on his 19 year old step-daughter's calls and read her texts? No, no, no.

No. That's control and I think her stating she is so ok with this is an open display of that control. "It's normal.. If you have nothing to hide it shouldn't matter.. Right baby" omg I can hear it. I think this is public control and it sickens me. This may also have something to do with my less than awesome past

Your post also made me realize this means he can at any time spy on them through the cameras on their phones as well, if the article is to believed. That's super gross and not ok.
So much this. I would be livid if I ever found this out.

That is absolutely creepy and not ok. My husband and I know the pass codes to each others phones so technically we could go through the phones and see what the other was doing but that's not something we do. He would see a lot of PB if he went through mine

Oh hell no. I was already newp to the whole tracking thing, but if he can do that then a big NEWP

100% against this. Although somehow our phones are turned on that we allow tracking of each other (iPhones). I discovered it one day and so we both occasionally use it. Not in a spying way though. Like when I pull up to the house he will have tracked me and my little babe will be waving at the window. And the other day I wanted to check to see if he'd left work yet. We also know each other's pass codes but still respect each other's privacy.
I haven't even read all the way through or read the comments here yet but whether she agreed to have the app installed or not, it's definitely not right. She should listen to her friends. Grounds for divorce seems more accurate than 'safety device'.
Also, I love that the OP is privacy - The irony is a nice touch
One last though: My ex was like this. Everything was "for me" because he "cared" until he 'cared' enough to do some REALLY terrible things. I hope this IS fake as PP said.

This is so gross and weird. All smart phones have some kind of tracking device on and DH & I usually keep our tracking on, but that's for emergencies or if we lose our phones. We never track each other and if this guy was doing it for safety then he wouldn't need to check it every day, all day like it sounds. I feel bad for the wife she sounds a little brain washed.

Same here. We turned on tracking on all of our devices for those basic reasons.
The camera thing is especially creepy. I thought people that covered their cameras on their laptops and such were overly paranoid but maybe I was wrong.

I hope that this is a made up story. In a previous life I volunteered with an underground house and movement to get women and children away from this type of situation. This is not about safety or cheating. This, if it's real, is as serious as it gets in that world.
I wouldn't even want that on my BFFs phone. We talk about some really personal things, TTC related, venting about husbands sometimes, etc. I would be mortified to know her husband had been reading our messages. I think even the friends have a right to be upset about this.
Also, even if the spying didn't bother her, why didn't hiding the spying bother her? He was being sneaky and dishonest himself.
