Tracking me or paranoid

How would someone track my location from my phone without me knowing? Would there not need to be an app on my phone or something? How would I check? Also could it still work if location was turned off on my phone?

My partner knew where I was when I hadn't told him and I can't think how else he would know. I was at the hospital which I think is the only reason he 'blew his cover' because he was worried I guess and wanted to know what was going on.

He wont tell me how he knew I was there. I have told him to F off and I'm not prepared to speak to him until he tells me. If it's an innocent reason then why wouldn't he just say?

If he is tracking me I really don't understand why. We are kind of having a break right now (we don't live together) But even so, I don't really have much of a life outside being a Mum and he knows this. I very rarely have a night out etc unless it's with him and obviously I'm not going anywhere right now in lockdown.
I don't understand why he would have such trust issues to go and do that. Its really freaked me out :(

Ok, I appreciate the reply but let's not get carried away- that's a bit dramatic. He's not bugged my house!! He would have no reason to do that. He wouldn't risk doing something illegal. He has way too much to loose and it would be for nothing. He has nothing to gain from doing that!

But he also has no reason to track you, either through your phone or your car. It's a totally inappropriate thing to do between adults unless both parties agree.

You may not think he has anything to gain, but that's not how he sees things - remember he doesn't think he's done anything wrong, he thinks he's being caring. Believe me, he's not

I would make the break you are on permanent.

His behaviour is controlling, and it doesn't matter whether in his world it's a perfectly reasonable thing to do. An awful lot of us on here are telling you that it's not. Not ever.

Get rid of him. You don't need his permission.

It is not paranoia. It's very easy to track your location. All you need is to have iPhone location tracker installed on your phone and on another phone and it will not be hard to track the location.
