WHEN YOUR PHONE BECOMES A TRACKING TOOL

   Hundreds of overt and covert spyware apps are available to abusive partners who want to turn a victim’s Iphone or Android into a surveillance tool, a recent U.S. study found.
   And malware detection programs the researchers tested are terrible at finding them, they discovered in a series of tests.
   Spyware apps range from those explicitly marketed at people who want to keep track of an intimate partner (as seen below) to more innocent ones, like Find My Phone, which can be re-purposed as tracking tools.
