AI and 'Boyfriend Tracker' Apps That Use AI

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.

Practice this safely

Try this with a school, hobby, or family example where the stakes are low. Use the AI output as a draft you can question, not as the final answer.

1. 1Ask AI to explain surveillance apps in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
2. 2Give it one detail from "AI and 'Boyfriend Tracker' Apps That Use AI" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
3. 3Check manipulation against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
