I think I’m being tracked
Your safety comes first. Trust your gut, and take this one step at a time.
Worried someone checks your phone? The Quick exit button (or the Esc key) leaves this page instantly. It doesn't erase your history, so you may want to clear it after.
First, right now
If you’re in danger, call 911.
If you’re safe right now, read step 1 before changing any settings.- Think about safety before changing anything. If someone close to you might be tracking you, turning off sharing or deleting an app can alert them. If you can, talk to an advocate first: the National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788.
- Check who can see your location. On iPhone, Safety Check (in Settings, under Privacy & Security) shows who you share location and information with. On Android, check location sharing in Google Maps. Also check apps like Snapchat’s Snap Map and Life360.
- Watch for unknown trackers. iPhone and Android can both alert you when an unknown Bluetooth tracker, like an AirTag, is moving with you. If you get an alert, follow its steps to find the tracker.
- Secure shared accounts. Anyone who knows your Apple ID or Google password may be able to see your location. Change those passwords, turn on two-step verification and sign out devices you don’t recognize.
- Get help checking for stalkerware. Hidden monitoring apps are hard to find yourself. An advocate can help, and StopStalkerware.org has guidance.
- Save the evidence. Keep notes with dates of anything that makes you think you’re being tracked. It can help if you report it.
