AIBU to think OH is either being a dick or having an affair?

Point 2 is unlikely but never impossible.
I needed to call him to ask about an Ocado order (how mundane).
We have the Life360 app which tracks where our family circle is at any time and it's real time and also sends a message when anyone leaves home or gets home. It's useful to know when people are arriving back for various things like mealtime planning but I don't watch it like a hawk. Sometimes I'll acknowledge that OH or DD have left home or college and if I need an ETA I might physically and specifically check location. Other than that, not much though given.
OH hadn't realised that his every move was tracked and started moaning about this last week and I didn't give it any thought because it wasn't important at the time.
I just went to see when he's due back as I'm cooking and also doing the Ocado order with my free hand and he's travelling from two counties away today and saw his location was not known. I was going to ask him for our £15 off voucher order and checkout the delivery. So I called him and got that info but also asked if he's logged out of Life360. He's said he deleted the app entirely as he's not comfortable.

I said "I'm not the Government FFS" and then after mutual huffing talked about other stuff and then stirred my rice.

aibu to think he's being really precious or having an affair. The affair bit is tonguw in cheek but then I thought well, he could actually be.

Irritated either way.

Well i think he's been a bit of a dick tbh...

I wouldn't have that app, but I'd also not download it, then wait for someone else to tell me what it did.

I mean it's not a huge deal, but it is a bit dickish not to just say, actually I don't want that on my phone at the time.

We have Glimpse. I can send an invite to track me for a certain amount of time but otherwise it doesn't say where I am. Useful for long journeys etc without the lack of privacy.

Exactly NoCapes - a tracking device isn't a repair mechanism for an affair. Especially if someone works away.

Your cheating DH either leaves his phone in his room and goes off to someone else's room or hotel. Or he just brings someone to his room.

How does it give you any sense of security?

And, really, how does being tracked under those particular circumstances bring anything positive to a relationship...?
