The big idea
A wave of AI 'relationship' apps claim to detect cheating from screenshots. They're either scams or they're being used as control tools in abusive relationships.
Some examples
- A partner asking to install a tracker is a relationship red flag.
- These apps make money on subscriptions, not accuracy.
- Many are fronts for stalkerware that records keystrokes.
- If a partner won't stop tracking you, that's abuse — not love.
Try it!
Check your phone settings for unfamiliar apps with location or accessibility access. Remove anything you didn't install yourself.
