How do you stop someone from tracking your location without them knowing?

To stop sharing your location with one person without them knowing, the most reliable methods involve using the "Block & Unblock" trick in Contacts or temporarily using Airplane Mode before changing app settings, as directly stopping sharing in Find My or Messages can send a notification, but the block/unblock method often bypasses it entirely, showing them nothing. You can also use a secondary device to spoof your location or disable specific app permissions like Find My or Messages in Settings > Privacy, but this might just show your last known spot rather than stopping the share discreetly.
 

What does *#21 do on iPhone?

Dialing *#21# on an iPhone checks the status of your unconditional call forwarding, showing if your calls, texts, or data are being redirected to another number; it's a standard GSM code, not a secret "hack" detector, revealing carrier-level settings, not spyware. It simply queries your mobile provider for forwarding information, often displayed as "Setting Interrogation Succeeded," and you can use it to see if someone (or you) set up call forwarding in your phone's settings.
 

Can someone see how many times I viewed their location?

Generally, people aren't explicitly notified every single time you check their location on apps like Google Maps or Find My, but they get reminders that location sharing is active, and some apps (like Apple's "Find My") can show when you've accessed it via system settings, while third-party apps like Life360 often keep it private to balance transparency with privacy. The key is consent and settings: if you've agreed to share, they usually can't see how often, but they can often see if you're currently viewing or have recently viewed, especially on iOS. 

Can you pause your location on Find My iPhone without anyone knowing?

You can pause Find My iPhone location tracking without a direct "paused" notification by turning off Location Services entirely (Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Off), which makes the phone appear offline/no location, or by enabling Airplane Mode (which stops all signals but also disables calls/internet). For more subtle methods, use another Apple device (iPad/Mac) logged into the same account to share its location instead, or use a third-party app for more control, though direct toggling of "Share My Location" does alert others unless you use workarounds.
