What do you mean by 'other device'
In order for someone to track your phone with Find My iPhone, they would need your Apple ID and password. Does anyone else have that information?
Sometimes it shows purple icon, but it is used many times than once a day and the only thing I see is that in settings > privacy > location services > system services > frequent location is always on (which means it has purple location icon). I don't know this means exactly my iphone is tracked at this time or why is it always on?
Yes, my friend knows this ID and password. Before I was getting messages whenever he tried to check me, I was receiving email telling me that my iphone was checked sing Find My iPhone by his device. After one month the email messages stopped.

If someone else has your Apple ID, change your passcode immediately. Don't give it out. That will solve the problem.
No, it does not mean someone is tracking you. It means that some app ON YOUR PHONE is tracking your phone's location for your convenience. Frequent Location is a feature of Maps and is also used by Reminders when you set a reminder to notify you when you reach a location.
The phone has no way of knowing when you are being tracked. But be assured that your carrier always knows where your phone is.
Why would you give someone who you know and/or suspect is tracking you your Apple ID and password? Change it NOW.
And people blame Apple and iOS/iCloud for not being "secure" enough. Security begins in your house by locking the front door (and not leaving the key under the welcome mat).
Sheesh...
No, this is another way. Ii do not blame anything.. My husband knows my apple ID and password. And I want to know when he uses this to check me up. I can;t change the password
Thank you for your answer, but the case is that I am sure I am checked (more than once a day by my husband) sometimes I even see that in his phone. Bt I don't know when this happens. I just want to get some notification that my iphone is checked that time of where I am
There is no way to do that. If you want to share information use Find Friends instead of Find my iPhone.
Why not, you can change it anytime you want to, so what's stopping you

I agree with Lawrence. Use the Find My Friends app to let your husband know where you are. You will have control over when and if you want to allow him to track you.
My guess is that they share an Apple ID. Which is not a good idea, especially now that Family Sharing has been released.
I can't. I want him to know my password, though I also want to know when he is tracking me
