How to find out who is tracking you, and how to stop them
There are five separate ways someone can see where you are in SafX. Each one has its own screen, each one shows you a list of who has access, and each one can be revoked from that same screen.
- How to know who is tracking you: check these five places — Each is a different kind of access, and each has its own list and its own off switch.
- 1. The "Monitoring You" list names everyone tracking you — The definitive list of people approved to monitor you, with a Remove access button beside each.
- 2. Pending requests from people asking to track you — People who have asked to monitor you but do not yet have access.
- 3. Public share links you created — A link anyone can open. It expires on a timer, but you can stop it early.
- 4. Live location shares inside a chat — A running share in a conversation, visible to that person or that group until it ends.
- 5. Security agency sharing — Registered agencies receive your emergency alerts unless you switch this off.
- Being connected is not the same as being monitored — A trusted contact gets your alerts. A monitor can see your ongoing movement.
- Sharing less without sharing nothing — City-level precision keeps you reachable without pinning your address.
- How to stop someone tracking you, and stop all sharing at once — Remove each person tracking you, end every share, and optionally revoke the permission itself.
- Deleting the location history that already exists — Set an automatic purge window, or request deletion of the Location History category.
- Common questions and fixes — What to check when something looks like unexpected access.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know who is tracking me on SafX?
Open Family Monitor and select the "Monitoring You" tab. It is headed "People monitoring you" and names every person approved to monitor you, with a Remove access button beside each. Also check the Requests tab for anyone waiting on your approval, your active public share links, any live location share running in a chat, and the agency sharing switch in Settings -> Account -> Privacy & sharing.
How do I stop someone from monitoring me on SafX?
Open Family Monitor -> Monitoring You, find the person, and tap Remove access. Their access ends immediately. If they are also a trusted contact, remove them separately from the Network tab, because those are two different kinds of access.
Can someone track me on SafX without me knowing?
No. Monitoring requires a request from them and an approval from you, and every approved monitor is listed under Family Monitor -> Monitoring You. Trusted contacts see your live position only during an emergency. Public share links and chat live shares are created by you and expire on a timer you set.
How do I stop sharing my location in SafX?
Switch off Always-on location sharing in Settings -> Safety -> Location, stop any active public share links from the share dialog, end any live shares running in your chats, and remove anyone listed under Family Monitor -> Monitoring You. To go further, revoke the Location permission in your phone settings — but emergency alerts will then carry no location.
