Tracking App Setting Changes to the Timeline

Product Feature Request: 

Track all app setting changes to the timeline. For example, track all motion detection activity zone changes to the timeline so that they cannot be deleted. 

This is a way to standout from other security systems and help SimpliSafe users be, and feel, safer. 

Why this is important: Mirroring spyware allows the hacker to have access to everything on a persons phone and even make changes to apps as if those changes are coming from the persons phone. As an example, say Person A was residing, and in an abusive relationship, with Person B. Because they share a residence, person B has access to Person A’s phone and could install spyware. So if Person A is finally able to get out of the home and find a new residence and gets SimpliSafe, but the mirroring spyware is still on Person A’s phone (e.g., perhaps they didn't know it was there until too late), then it is theoretically possible for person B to get access inside the residence after turning off all motion detection as well as the door’s sensor so as to go unnoticed.

While I understand this might not be a common occurrence, spyware is getting easier to install and more common. Additionally, acts of violence typically come from a person the victim knows. So a system that can protect a residence from both targeted acts of violence as well as acts of opportunity would be incredibly helpful.
