Is There A Free App To Track Phone Without Them Knowing?

I get the budget concern, but there isn’t a truly reliable, free app that tracks someone’s phone covertly. “Free and stealthy” trackers are often scams, malware, or drain the battery and data, and they can breach privacy or break terms of service.

What I’d suggest instead (ethically and practically):

1. Have a direct, honest chat about your concerns. Transparency beats hidden monitoring in most relationships.

2. Use built-in location sharing rather than secretly tracking:

Android: Google Maps location sharing (temporary or ongoing).

iPhone: Find My location sharing with the person’s consent.

3. If you’re managing a family device (and appropriate for minors), use family safety/parental controls that are transparent and intended for safety.

4. If you’re evaluating options for legitimate monitoring with consent (e.g., on a device you own or with agreement), a reputable paid solution like mSpy can be considered. It’s widely used for consent-based monitoring and comes with support and safeguards. Here’s the link: https://www.mspy.com/?utm_source=mspy.net&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=forum

Important: avoid fake apps and misleading marketing. I can help you compare legitimate, consent-based options or craft a conversation to set boundaries.
