Almost all phone stalkerware requires physical access  to the device to install. Once installed, it runs in stealth mode without any notification or identifying activity and is difficult to detect or remove. To access your phone activity, the person monitoring you signs in to a website or app on a different device. They may also receive notification of certain activities, such as copies of text messages or an alert that you are on a call so they can secretly join and listen to it.
