There is no reason to try and hide such an app, though. Phones that are company property will be under MDM which can ensure a given app is installed and prevent uninstallation.
These features, presumably, are to target the shady "spouse spying", domestic abuse and similar adversarial tracking markets.
- amingilani 7y agoYeah, I can see how they'd be used like that and I don't condone it. At the same time, the optimist in me hopes they're trying to make it less obvious to the employees that the phone is being tracked. Like when you don't necessarily need a glowing red camera to remind workers that big brother is watching. But I certainly see your point. I'm just hoping they're a legitimate vehicle tracking solution that's letting you add an accompanying hard-to-remove client app on a spare phone to use as a easy vehicle tracker.
