I don't believe he can use your "location history" to track you from your own phone. At least not by itself. That information is attached to your google account that you use on that phone. He could only access your account if you left the account unlocked/open. However his moving it on your phone (making your app not where it was) can't make him have access. If that is all he did, you just need to locate the app again.

If, however, you gave him access to your account, or he acquired the password, then he could make changes.

Or, if you allowed him access to the phone, and he put something on it he shouldn't have, then he could track it.

But, you can't 'move' where location history data is. It is always attached to your google account.

If you think your google account was compromised, just change the password. You should also lock your phone.

Another tip is to not leave yourself logged into your google account when you are not using the phone, or it is going to be out of your sight. This way no one can access your account and get any data.

Lastly, if you are really worried that something, like an app, has been installed on the phone, your best option (if you can't find the rogue app in your apps list. Under "Settings" and then "Apps, then "All", and uninstall it.) Then you may want to do a "Hard Reset" of the phone.

Important Note: Doing a "Hard Reset" will remove your personal data and any apps you have added to the phone. So if there is anything you wish to keep that is on the device, you should back it all up to a computer or cloud account prior to doing the "Hard Reset". This way, once you are done, you can re-add the info to the phone. If you move it to a computer or cloud account, make sure that is password protected and no one else knows the password.

If your boyfriend feels like tracking your phone without your permission, first thing to do is get a new boyfriend.

Then you can disable location tracking on the phone, but that will make some apps not work as smoothly.
