Crazy you're offended on the part of the cheaters and somehow blaming a woman for using a basic function of her device to catch that cheater.
This would be like you ranting about "a woman going psycho" for just viewing your reddit comments. It's a built in history on the device.
Your values are fucked, dude.

They probably didn't even read the article and just the title. If you read only the title and came to the conclusion that they did about this post, might reveal their true feelings on the matter.
Men can be crazy exes, too. No need to single out either gender when it comes to being crazy.

Lol right? As if google, texts, email, reddit, etc don’t store your search and browsing history

Pro-tip for people who don't want to be spied on: DON'T BUY SPY EQUIPMENT FOR YOUR HOME BECAUSE YOU THINK IT'S FUN THAT IT WILL TELL YOU A JOKE.

Checking the history is not at all going psycho
Bugging his devices and stealing all his personal info would be going psycho

The New York Post is a garbage news source.

The title is misleading / clickbait.
She went throught the device history on her own Alexa in her own home. It's not a "secret function", she didn't spy on him - the dude literally let a strange woman into his girlfriend's home who asked Alexa to play music.

Lol half the article is quotes of tiktok comments

This couldn’t be less secret. It’s like the main thing that shows up when you open the Alexa app.

True, but kinda like Find My Iphone, if you suspect your partner is cheating it might be a good idea to look at that

Yeah this is maddening that this person above you is finding someway to put the blame on the woman instead of the horrible act the man is doing by literally cheating behind someone’s back. How about that huh?
EasternShade t1_iqwz9k9 wrote
In a negative trust kinda sense, sure. There's all manner of spy craft people can use on partners. That's not exactly a good thing.
Willy988 t1_iqwzb6u wrote
You’re really sad if you’re finding a way to put the heat on his woman and not being outraged that this spineless man is cheating behind his girls back. Pathetic.

ZDraxis t1_iqwzpij wrote
They’re kind of garbage news, lots of opinions, lots of sensationalism, or other non-news like this, low quality writing, low quality topics. It’s like grabbing a random stranger and asking them to paraphrase what they remember about headlines 4 weeks ago. The bar for terrible journalism has definitely been lowered in the age of qanon and oan and infowars, and New York post isn’t really in that crowd, but they’re your more classic bad news outlet and have held that position for decades

Lol at people downvoting you without explaining. It's been considered a gossip rag for decades, on par with the tabloids of old (idk if they're even still a thing, don't see them in grocery stores near me anymore)

This is how I figured out why I had a rental for a movie called “Okay”
I kept looking to see if my account was compromised then I decided to check the history. It can rent without a pin if it’s my voice. And at some point the activation word was triggered and it heard me say okay and I have no idea how no other verification occurred.

>paraphrase what they remember about headlines 4 weeks ago
However, the NY Post also created the single greatest headline of all time:
austinmiles t1_iqx2smw wrote
This whole “every women should check” is kind of garbage. Cheating is not a gendered issue.
skullduggery38 t1_iqx2wtp wrote
That's probably fair, I wasn't 100% sure that was semantically correct since they're traditionally published in slightly different print formats from what I can tell
ChickenFriedRiceee t1_iqx2ygy wrote
Lol this isn’t a secret. Alexa records and save previous commands to help the ai learn. Alexa wouldn’t work without a tremendous amount of data to train the machine learning algorithm. The nypost just doesn’t know shit. The past command history isn’t a secret it’s literally right there on the app lol.
hingbongdingdong t1_iqx35dg wrote
Find my iphone is kiddie shit. Your iphone keeps a detailed history of all the places you go that it uses to ascertain where your home and work is. You just need to open that part of the settings to find illustrated patterns in where they go.
hingbongdingdong t1_iqx383h wrote
It's a newspaper that also runs tabloids, therefore evil.

Genuine question
If you suspect someone is cheating, what type of experience or evidence would lead you to be suspicious? I’m asking because wouldn’t you just ask them about it?

- You can check past requests to Alexa (which is what she did).
- You can use a feature called "drop-in" and listen to everything going on LIVE at the moment until you hang up (no one needs to answer, it just eavesdrops).

Also just a tabloid rag. John Mulaney literally has a bit about the types of headlines they use.

Perhaps they are acting in a way that implies they are lying to you… So asking them won’t really help

Even earlier. Cable news loves to share “what twitter is saying” about everything and has for years.

It’s a stretch to call the NY Post journalism in the first place.
TexAggie90 t1_iqx9u9r wrote
For what it’s worth, I believe the significant locations are not provide to Apple and are only available directly in your device, so without access to the unlocked phone, they are private.
Someone can correct me if I’m wrong on that.
But if you want to disable, this article explains how.

Video ordering is weird to handle correctly. Too much verification is annoying. Too little and you're swamped with bullshit you didn't want.

It's a rupert murdoch rag.. he bought a bunch of em during the election.. all with names similar to existing trusted news sites..
Like.. we already had New York Times, and Washington Post, so Rupert Murdoch (owner of fox news) buys/creates New York Post. so people will associate it with the old media and get tricked into the right wing fascist funnel.
It's disgusting.
cesium-sandwich t1_iqxnda7 wrote
That's by design.
mredofcourse t1_iqxu26u wrote
In fairness, the NY Post is older than The New York Times and Washington Post. It was founded by Alexander Hamilton as the NY Evening Post and then became the NY Post in 1934. Murdoch purchased it in 1976. He was forced to sell it in 1988 due to federal regulations, but was allowed to repurchase it in 1993.
>It's disgusting.
I couldn't agree more.
multiverse_robot t1_iqxwgdl wrote
how can you find someone else's iphone though?
mredofcourse t1_iqxwinv wrote
You can see my example here:
While there are 57 records, you can only see the last record (Flea Street Cafe for a yummy dinner with my wife).
You can turn the setting off and/or clear history:
Settings->Privacy&Security->Location Services->System Services (scroll to bottom) ->Significant Locations (again at bottom)
It's also worth noting that you need Face ID or passcode to not only unlock your iPhone, but again to get to that screen. So if you handed someone your unlocked iPhone, they wouldn't be able to see your last record unless they did a second unlock at that page.

Yeah but would you stay with someone that you suspect is lying to you that often?
justdrowsin t1_iqy8019 wrote
No. What’s your point? That doesn’t seem to have anything to do with what I said.
Ghostlucho29 t1_iqy9clp wrote
My point is this.. a person who has sufficient evidence to suspect infidelity by their SO, may not even need to confirm it with geolocation data.
Chill brudda lol
Thanks for the convo
