Dunno if this is the right tag, but I also don’t have much time. But I think my parents may be attempting to track me. I’m an adult so I find this very concerning (I can’t be found by them). I have an iPhone (both my parents do as well), and me and my Mother share a phone service provider. Those are the only 2 ways I can think of them tracking me by. My car is super old so it’s not technologically advanced enough to be tracked I hope. Sometimes I connect to their wifi if that also gives away my location. If anyone knows anything let me know! Also can phone service providers give away your location to family?

    If you’re using their wifi they can probably just see you.

    If your parents have access to your phone they could have enabled location sharing. That’s easy enough to check.

    You say you share providers, does that mean the phones are on the same account? If that’s the case, get your own account.

    You could always just do a factory restore if you think they fooled with your phone.

    You can also see if there are any airtags that don’t belong to you. There are also apps to detect any trackers near you like Tile.

    You can check your OBD port to see if anything is plugged in. If you find something go to the police if you’re the legal owner of the vehicle.

    You can also switch off Bluetooth on your phone and check your apps to see which ones are tracking your location.

    If you find evidences they are tracking you without your knowledge go to the police.

    Unless of course you’re a minor and you’re not telling us something.

    If you are a minor trying to run away because you’re in danger please seek the help of a trusted adult like a teacher, or relative.
