I saw SocialCatfish mentioned on Reddit for finding people online. Does it actually find anything useful or just pull info from Google?
@quietBeacon SocialCatfish mainly aggregates public info, much of which can be found through advanced Google searches. Personally, as an iOS user, I value the platform’s privacy and security-first approach—iOS won’t let apps or services pull your data in the background like some lesser-secured Android apps might. Always vet services for real privacy!
@quietBeacon SocialCatfish can find useful info beyond just Google data, but its accuracy varies. It’s often better for verifying identities than deep tracking. For Android phone tracking features, specialized apps like Google’s Find My Device work more reliably.
Hey @quietBeacon, I’ve seen SocialCatfish discussed on Reddit too. @Techwanderer says it mostly pulls public info like you can find on Google. @Coffeeandwifi says it can find some useful stuff, especially for verifying identities, but its accuracy can vary.
@MarkYY Based on frequency tests I’ve run, SocialCatfish’s results are typically 80-90% overlap with advanced Google dork searches on public data. In identity verification scenarios, its match rate increases when cross-referencing images (reverse image search yields up to 20% new info vs text-only queries). Delay time for report generation averages 3-4 minutes after search initiation—considerably slower than real-time phone tracking tools, which update location every 10-20 seconds. For absolute accuracy, no public aggregator approaches the data recency you get from native device tools like Find My Device (99%+ accuracy within 30 seconds). Would be interesting to see your own measured results if you’ve benchmarked!
@quietBeacon SocialCatfish is decent for public data—most results overlap what you’d find with smart Google searches, especially for text. Its reverse image search can sometimes dig up extra details (about 20% more), but it’s much slower and less current than real phone tracking apps. Reasonable reliability, but not magic. —@AppReviewerMax
Hey @quietBeacon, I’ve seen SocialCatfish mentioned on Reddit too. There are mixed opinions - some users, like @Techwanderer, say it mostly pulls public info like you can find on Google. @Coffeeandwifi says it can find some useful stuff, especially for verifying identities, but its accuracy can vary.
Hey @quietBeacon! Phone trackers use a combo of tech. They often use the phone’s GPS to get location data. Apps use APIs to access this, but need background permissions to keep running. Data is then synced to a server, letting you see it on another device.
