There is only one ‘Friend’ entered into my ‘Find My Friends’ app on my iPhone 5 — my husband. He is there because he does a lot of solitary bushwalking, and I want to be able to locate him if he is very late returning or needs help.
I turned it on last night because he was very late: I found him at a friend’s house, so that was OK. BUT there was another, unknown marker in the frame. When I put my finger on it, the label said ‘Me (hiding my location from you)’ This is very disturbing — what else might the intruder be doing in my phone, and how do I get rid of it? I had a look on the internet, and found that quite a few iOS apps have been hacked, but I do not have any on the list. I looked at Apple support, but if they have any info about this kind of thing, it wasn’t obvious. There are a number of apps for iOS security, but most of them are concerned with other aspects of security — like preventing nosy people from physically snooping on the phone, or as a part of alarm systems for the home, etc. I suppose one of the things I should do is change the unlocking code for the phone. If I delete the app and then reinstall it, will it be a totally new installation, or will it still read from the old settings? Will really appreciate help with this!
