preface
Checking up is a common occurrence during a relationship. Relationship builders often use voice and video calls to achieve this, but these two methods do not always work. “Find” is an APP designed to locate devices and friends on iOS. If used properly, “Find” in iOS is also a good extension of check.
This article does not discuss the moral and ethical relationship behind it, but only focuses on several potential ways of technological confrontation, which hopefully will not affect the intimate relationship between readers.
To find the
Search is a system-level APP in iOS, which allows you to query your friend’s location in real time. There should be similar apps in the market even when the other party does not open the APP, but it is not within the scope of this paper.

It all seems pretty cool and cool that young couples are sharing the safety of real-time location, but in fact, iOS “search” locations can be selected on devices, and the finder doesn’t know which device it is looking for:

So how do you fight this? There is also “home sharing” in iOS. After sharing, you can see the location of all the devices of the shared user:
At the end
This article is more about the technical aspects of the potential, rather than provoking suspicion and distrust in intimate relationships. In the course of a relationship, the parties have their own scales in mind, and if you already have to rely on these means of coercive restraint, it will be the last straw. In short, trust is also mutual, good luck.
