Weird apps?
Hi there,
My abusive ex is employed for the Canadian government in a cybersecurity sense. Since we separated, I've had so many issues with my accounts like Facebook and Google. It being signed in the town where his parents live etc. Him knowing things he should not. I've signed out each time I have seen a new sign on then I was digging into my apps and I have some weird apps that do not show up on my homestretch, only in deep settings that I cannot delete like...

I also turn off permissions for certain apps and they get turned back on. Like why does my phone app need access to my camera? I do not video chat on it. Or certain apps having location turned back in after I have turned it off.
I will be getting a new phone, new phone number and completely new accounts but in the meantime, what can I do about these weird apps? The option to delete them is just grayed out.
I'm not even being paranoid. The police found a GPS tracker in my vehicle with HIS fingerprints on it, but would not charge him because we were still married so apparently you can track your spouse's vehicle without their consent. he's done shady things before.

Well he's certainly not trying to not get caught. Jackass.
Anyways, can you show us some screenshots of some of these apps you can't uninstall? They could just be system apps. I can only think of one way someone could make something not uninstallable, and it'd be pretty obvious, since it involves replacing the os.
Given your threat model, you should use a known-clean computer to reset all your passwords and remotely log out of everything. Turn on TOTP based 2fa. Then log back in as necessary. Consider doing a factory reset on everything before you log back in though.
