Locate my/ disable iPhone tracking from ipad

[Rimsy]

So hypnotically speaking imagine a friend is having an affair and wants to stop their husband/wife seeing the location of their iPhone showing up on the iPad they share with her husband(oops) (which is obviously signed into her apple id)... Doable?

 

[Feek]

Yes. Find My/Me/Share My Location

But that’s really scummy of your ‘friend’.

 

[Rimsy]

Thank you.

Have you heard of this thing called Google? Literally the first result, and you didn’t have to make yourself look silly by doing it.

 

[Rimsy]

Sometimes the "asking for a friend" thing is actually legit (like in this case) and I know very little about iPhones but terribly to waste your precious time.

 

[ChrisD.]

Yeah, sure.

Going to bookmark this thread. I’ve got a feelings it’s gonna get spicy.

Oh and shame on you

Euw. 'Hypnotically' speaking, did this female 'friend' ask you (someone who has no idea about iPhones) how to hide it because you also happen to be the guy stiffing her husband's wife? It'll be interesting when the husband inevitably gets the notification that she suddenly and suspiciously disabled location sharing.

There is no such notification. Find My just shows that no location could be found.

Leaving aside the (I thought obvious) implication that I hope they get caught and have no time for philandering... Really? In the past I have received notification that $family_member has stopped sharing their location with me. Turned out our son was playing silly buggers with his phone at school, and disabling account changes in his screen time fixed that. Did they change it?

@Rainmaker
Ahh, I think this is two different things.
Stopping sharing with someone is different from just disabling ones own location. Toggling that slider doesn't send a notification but actually stopping sharing does through the account does. That slider is really badly worded.

So hypnotically speaking

I wouldn’t rely on hypnosis alone. rohypnol and chloroform are a better combo.

Shouldn't be tracking. Confront and ask face to face.

I seem to recall turning off 'find my...' triggers an email to the account.

It certainly used to.

Different thing, turning off Find My is not the same as just disabling location sharing in the app. See above

It certainly used to.
