Have you wanted to secretly track your husband or boyfriend to know what he is up to?
Women in Dubai, at least majority of whom Emirates 24|7 spoke to, say they are not interested and fear it could further ruin the relationship.
An Android application called ‘Boyfriend Tracker’, which gained instant popularity among Brazilians, was pulled out of the Google Play Store last week following complaints.
The app had already achieved more than 50,000 downloads when fears were raised about possible breach of privacy.
However, a telephonic survey by Emirates 24|7 showed that women in Dubai preferred not to secretly track their husbands or boyfriends.
“If you are so insecure I don’t think the marriage will work. Anyway, your life will become a living hell if you start distrusting and resorting to these measures,” said SK an Indian housewife and mother of two, married for more than six years.
BM says she will directly confront her husband in case she has a doubt.
“I am not playing a James Bond here. I am just playing the role of a wife,” she says.
The Android app once secretly enabled on the partner’s handset remains hidden on the phone, but sends regular updates to the recipient.
It shows the location of the other person, sends a copy of text messages sent and received, and makes the tracked phone secretly dial a call to trace conversations.
CM, a Dubai-based housewife from the UK said she once used to distrust her boyfriend and even resorted to conventional ways of tracking him.
“The result was that I almost lost him. I realised my mistake, and today, I am married to the same man and we are living happily. The more you search, the more you will plunge yourself deeper into suspicion.”
SP, a housewife and mother of three, says she would not hesitate to resort to any means to trace her husband’s activities if she doubts him.
“If I think he is lying, then I will definitely use any means. A similar app makes life so much easier.”
According to her, men who choose to cheat will never admit to what they are up to unless they are shown the evidence.
