Digital life & tech safety
Control often lives in the phone: location, passwords, cloud photos, and public posts.
Priority checklist
- New private email they cannot answer recovery codes for
- Password manager + unique passwords; 2FA on authenticator app you control
- Review “Find My” / Google location / car apps / smart home
- Check shared iCloud/Google photo streams
- App store purchase notifications and screen time controls
- Work laptop: assume personal drama does not belong there
Social media
Mute, restrict, do not engage. No subtweet wars. Archive important posts/screenshots offline. Consider a temporary freeze on posting about life milestones that fuel conflict.
Work channels
Slack/Teams/LinkedIn messages from her: do not argue. Document and loop HR if it is harassment into the workplace. See work playbook.
