EDIT: I have more advice than I know what to do with thank you so much, I'll hopefully be able to convince her to let me back up and wipe the phone. If she doesn't consent to that, I also have some good direction on detecting anything malicious. Thank you again <3

ORIGINAL POST: Can anyone point me toward some resources on detecting and removing stalkerware on Android?

But I understand if Mastodon gGmbH doesn't feel they can do that forever.)
