Get the stalker off your phone

[Dear Abby]

Here is something you can try. It's quoted from  'Here's How to Find Out if Your Crazy Ex is Stalking Your Phone.'

A software program called FlexiSpy has the ability to track people's movements, monitor their text messages and even listen in on calls. It has reportedly enabled domestic abuse and features remote install.

But there's a way to dodge that bullet! A bunch of blogs against the software have listed steps where users can go to their phone settings and spot if someone is spying on them with FlexiSPY.

For Android Phones

1. Open the "Settings" application and tap on "Apps."

2. Select the "Downloaded" tab and scroll down the list of installed applications until you locate the entry named "SyncManager." This is the misleading name used by the running FlexiSPY process.

3. Tap on "SyncManager" and select "Uninstall."

4. Reboot your phone.

For iOS

1. Launch your device's default marketplace application. The name of the application is "App Store".

2. Search for a mobile malware-removal tool by typing "antivirus" or "malware removal" in the application's search box. Most mobile anti-virus applications can identify FlexiSPY as a known threat and remove it from your phone. Examples of common mobile antivirus applications are "Norton Mobile Security," "NetQin Mobile Security" and "Kasperspy Mobile Security."

3. Tap on "Install" or "Download" once you have found a suitable anti-virus application.

This is two years old but if your NPD is anything like the one I know, they've been in your phone a loooooong time.

The Apple store and tech support will inaccurately tell you there's no way to spyware and track iPhones. Don't believe them.

Cheers!  To losing the weight of a psychopathic burden.

Wanted to add to this.

On some android versions, you will need to click see all apps at the bottom of the partial list.  Then when the whole list comes up, select the three dots menu at the upper right corner then select system apps.
