Malwarebytes outlines the growing normalization of location sharing between romantic partners while stressing that it must be consensual, purpose‑driven, and revisited over time; citing survey data (50% value location sharing, 42% deem partner tracking important, and 41% admit some form of non‑consensual monitoring—including 16% tracking via apps/Bluetooth and 13% installing monitoring apps), the article warns of privacy and safety harms in coercive or abusive relationships involving stalkerware, offers practical guidelines for safe, temporary use with clear rules, and reminds readers that sharing real‑time location is a privilege, not a right.
