How to Secretly Check Your Boyfriend's Phone

Track your boyfriend's phone (for iPhone)

Open the 'Find My' app on your phone. Every Apple device comes with the 'Find My' app, so you can keep track of your device, your friends and loved ones. This app has a green circle icon with a blue dot in the middle that shines a light blue light above the circle.

This option works best when you and your boyfriend have iPhones or Apple devices.

Share your location with your boyfriend. Tap on the 'People' section in the app and select 'Share My Location' or 'Start Sharing Location'. Next, enter your boyfriend's name or phone number in that box. Tap 'Send' and decide whether you want to share your location with him for 'One Hour', 'Until End of Day' or 'Indefinitely ' (Unlimited). Select 'OK' to complete the request.

This will send a notification to your boyfriend's phone. If you're worried he'll get suspicious, share your location when he's not on his phone.

Request to track your boyfriend's location. Return to the 'People' section in the 'Find My' app. Here, tap your boyfriend's name or profile picture - his information will immediately appear on the screen because you've shared your location with him. Next, select 'Ask To Follow Location' and select 'OK'.

Wait for your boyfriend to leave the room or go to the bathroom so he doesn't see the notification on his phone.

Accept requests on your boyfriend's phone when he's not paying attention. Unlock your phone and access the 'Find My' app. Open the 'People' section and tap the 'Share' button below your name. Next, decide how long to share his location.

The 'Share Indefinitely' option is best when you suspect he is cheating on you. That way, you can keep an eye on him and see if you can find out anything.

Update your notification settings so you know every time your boyfriend arrives at a new location. Use your phone and open the 'People' tab in the 'Find My' app. Next, tap on your name and press the 'Add' button just below the 'Notification' button. Tapping 'Notify Me' allows you to customize the notifications you receive when he changes location. You can change the following notification settings:

When: Receive notifications when your boyfriend arrives, leaves or is not at a certain location.

Location: Choose a place where your boyfriend spends a lot of time, such as work. The phone will notify you when your boyfriend arrives, leaves or is not at that location.

Frequency: Choose the number of times to receive notifications as 'Only Once' or 'Every Time' when your boyfriend is or is not present at a certain location.

Check the 'Find My' app to see your boyfriend's location at any time. Tap on the 'People' section in the app, and select your boyfriend's name to know where he is.

Track your boyfriend's phone (on Android)

Open Google Maps on your phone. Open the 'Google Maps' app on your smartphone, and tap the profile picture icon.

Make sure you have your boyfriend's phone on hand when doing this so he doesn't get notifications.

Tap on the 'Location sharing' option. Here, tap on the 'New share' button. Adjust the length of time you share your location, or tap 'Until you turn this off' if you want to share your location indefinitely.

This tracking method works best when you and your boyfriend have Android phones and/or Google accounts.

This will send a notification to your boyfriend's phone; Therefore, you should only act when he is not present.

Sign in to Google Maps on your boyfriend's phone. Unlock the phone and open the 'Google Maps' app.

If you don't know your boyfriend's phone password, try asking if you can borrow his phone for a bit. Thus, he can unlock the phone for you.

Start sharing your boyfriend's phone location with you. Tap on your boyfriend's profile picture in the app; Next, tap on the 'Location sharing' option. Find the contact's name or profile picture on the screen - the information will appear from the moment you just shared your location. Open your contacts, then tap the 'Request' button to share his location with your phone.

Accept a tracking request on your phone. After tapping 'Request', your phone will receive a notification requesting location tracking. Agree to allow him to share his location with you, and you're done!

Visit the Google Maps 'Location Sharing' page when you want to follow him. When you visit this page, tap on your boyfriend's profile picture. When the phone is with him, you will know exactly where he is.
