I figured I'd ask here since this you guys area of expertise. Dealing with a stalking situation being tracked with Google account.
My darling friend has recently gone through a breakup from a crazy Ex(Full on Pscyho really) but details are irrelevant. Anyway, we have been noticing thathe somehow ALWAYS randomly appears where she is. At first, it was sort of explained away by he just shows up to places he knows she and her friends frequent . Until it became SPECIFIC places she has never been known to go. Case in point last night, she drove spontaneously an hour to come visit me at the bar i JUST started at (as in literally yesterday was my first shift). Guess who shows up about 2 hour or so later. The ex. Anyway we were trying to figure out how he somehow always manages to show up where she is and we discovered she has been using it and we realizes he has been tracking her through Find my phone(he had access to her email/password)
She has since created a new google account and is using my iPhone 8 for the time being but if she decides to use her Galaxy S22 again, can she just remove the account he has access to and replace it with her new one without notifying him that she is aware he has access to the account in the first place?
I know on IOS it tells you when you remove a device from an account but she doesnt want to potentially escalate a situation BEFORE we have a chance to file a police report today for harassment
Also with this new google account if she adds it to the S22, will she be able to continue doing her backups of her content on the phone? Without losing data?
I use to joke that I wanted her to get off Android because IOS is better BUT this is not the way I meant and it is scary to think someone you trusted at one time has THAT MUCH access to you after the fact.
