Signs of stalking
- Repeated messages and calls, even after you asked them to stop.
- New accounts every time you block them.
- They know where you were or who you were with, without you telling them.
- They monitor your accounts or those of your friends and family.
- Gifts or messages waiting for you in places you go.
How can they know where I am?
- Location sharing in an app (Google Maps, Snap Map, Find My…).
- A spy app on your phone (stalkerware).
- A small tracker (like an AirTag) in your things or your car.
- Your posts, or your friends’ posts, showing your location.
What to do
- Document every incident: date, time, what happened.
- Check location sharing and turn it off.
- If you suspect a spy app, don’t delete it straight away — the person may notice. Ask for technical support first.
- Talk to someone you trust and plan for your safety.
Cyberstalking can turn into physical danger. If you feel unsafe, see what to do now.
