Google appears to have quietly rolled out a feature to the Play Store that allows users to remotely uninstall apps from other devices.

    That stalker had to have access to your google account to do so, you are utterly fucked if that’s the case by that point. Like, why would they need to install a tracking app, when the google findmyphone feature just gives them the info. Anything that the phone stores that isn’t recorded by google pales in comparison to what they have access to with your account.

    That’s like saying that you are saving money by buying a kilo of salt that lasts a year, 50 cents cheaper. Yeah you technically saved money but it’s so irrelevant in the grand scheme of things that you shouldn’t even consider it.

      Also, Android shows a notification when you install an app remotely. So you’d instantly know something’s up anyway.
