Is Someone Spying on Your Phone?

[Editor's note 5/28/2020: Since this article was written nine years ago, many new phone hacking methods have been developed and/or discovered. In addition, cell phone operating systems have evolved significantly. We've created a new article to cover those various hacks in our new story: How to Tell if Your Phone Has Been Hacked. Please go there for the latest information. We're keeping this story active for the issues and useful advice contained in the comments.]

You probably know there are plenty of apps you can install on your smartphone to track its location in case it gets lost or stolen. Apple's “Find My iPhone” is one good one and many security apps, such as AVG Mobilation, can track down a phone in seconds.

But what if someone else is tracking you? Is there any chance your boss or spouse could be spying on everything you do on your phone?

It’s easy to do. Spy apps are plentiful and can imperceptibly track text and e-mail messages, location, Web sites you visit, who you call and what photos and videos you shoot. The problem is these apps are difficult to detect and run invisibly in the background.

I decided to track my son and installed an app on his phone called Phone Control by Laucass (free on Google Play). Of course, secretly intercepting electronic communications without the person's knowledge and consent is illegal, so I told my son I was doing it and that I’d only use it if I had good reason.

Every day I receive emails that indicate my son’s location as he’s using his phone out in the world. I can click on those links in my email to see via Google Maps where he is (although I very rarely do). I could also set up the app to send me data about everything else he’s doing on his phone, but that’s not something I personally need—or want—to do.

Signs your phone may have been compromised

Someone borrowed or took your phone

I had to have my son’s phone in hand to install Android Phone Control. Once activated, however, there’s no icon in the application launcher. The app shows up with the name “Android System” in the applications manager so it doesn’t look suspicious. If you think someone could do something like this when you’re not paying attention or asleep, secure your phone with a passcode that isn’t easy to guess.

(Editor's Note 9/26/12: To confirm you have the spyware and not a standard Android app by the same name, follow these steps to open the spy app (dial the phone number.)

(Editor's Note 8/28/13: See our in-depth study of mobile security apps for more detail on 9 of the most common spyware programs and how to detect them.)

(Editor's Note 12/16/14 (Josh Kirschner): In some of my comments below, I noted the unlikelihood of spying on iPhones that were not jailbroken. However, since many of those comments were made, certain holes were identified in iOS that exploit the iPhone's connection to trusted networks and devices to allow someone with access to the network or device to download significant amounts of personal data. Jailbreaking the iPhone was not required. Fortunately, those holes have been patched in iOS 8. For more information, see: http://www.zdziarski.com/blog/?p=3820]

Your phone is acting weirdly

Taking forever to shut off, lighting up for no reason, suddenly getting much shorter battery life or running hot when you’re not using it may indicate hidden processes are running in the background.

Your data usage skyrockets for no reason

This could be because your phone is checking in with someone else, using GPS and sending them text messages or emails that communicate where you are and what you’re doing.

What to do if you suspect your phone's being monitored

The best thing to do is perform a factory reset, which you can find as an option in your phone’s settings. Know, however, that in doing so you will lose all data stored on your phone, so back it up first.

If you’re using Apple iCloud or Android 4.0, items like your contacts, photos and music are automatically synced and saved in the cloud. But if you have an older phone, you’ll want to make sure to export your contacts before doing a factory reset. There are various ways to do this depending on what phone you’re using and which operating system it’s running. If you’re not sure, get help from your cellular provider; they can make sure to retain your contacts and other important data during a factory reset.

You'll then want to use a strong passcode to prevent unauthorized access to your device. For Android devices, you can also install an app, like AppNotifier (free on Google Play), that will email you when programs are loaded onto your phone.

(Editor's Note 9/26/12: See our updated recommendations for Android antimalware solutions)

(Editor's Note 8/28/13: See our in-depth study of mobile security apps for our latest recommendations on how to protect yourself.)

You'll then have to tackle the issue of who's doing the monitoring. Keep in mind that if your device was issued by your company or is authorized to access your company's email and other data services, you may have given your consent as part of your employment contract or when access was data access was granted.

Cell Phone Debugging for the Average Person

From Kevin D. Murray on March 30, 2012 :: 10:39 am

I consult on eavesdropping and privacy for business and government clients. Your advice on detecting spyware is very accurate. Thank you for getting the word out.

For those who want a more scientific test (that the average person can simply preform), I created one for my clients and eventually put it into book form, “Is My Cell Phone Bugged?”

Unfortunately, just testing for spyware is treating the symptom rather than the disease. There are other steps which must be taken first to successfully retake one’s privacy.

The root of the snooping problem is the snoop; not the spyware, bug or wiretap.

Even if you find spyware and reset the phone, the snoop remains free to spy again; more covertly now they know you are suspicious; and, using a variety of other methods as well.

The key to treating the disease is linking the criminal to the crime, first. This is part of the scientific test procedure.

Sounds like a phone issue

From Josh Kirschner on January 02, 2022 :: 7:49 pm

That definitely sounds like a phone hardware/software issue, not a spyware problem. First, make sure your phone software is fully up to date. If it is, you can factory reset the phone to see if that fixes the issue. If not, it could be a hardware issue. But hard to diagnose further without knowing the model of your device.

Erase the phone!

From Stacy on April 08, 2015 :: 9:34 am

I guess the optimal solution for you would be to hard-reset your phone. This will definitely erase all spyware from it, and cut this dataa-transferring channel down. Moreover, you won’t have to argue with potential hacker.

hard reset isnt enough

From Ayyub on May 24, 2015 :: 11:15 am

You can do a hard reset but most havks are done by email or by sending an encrypted text or mms message usually with a pic. So if you do a reset and then sign back into your phone with the same email then youre hacked again and backing up data on to a cloud app or agent will also get your phone hacked again because iyou are backing up everything even the virus so once you restore you phone you restored the virus. 9 times out of ten the person hacking you is some one you know. There is no security software that is 100% accurate its all bogus and a way just to take your money plus most security apps do the hacking because of all the permissions you give them so they can so call check to see if you are hacked. Its an industry people. They get paid to fix what they themselves have sabotaged. Businesses now sucker the people into buying junk a damaged goods. Then you pay them to fix it. Its all scandalous business. Android has yet to fix its security holes and its been almost 20 years that they’ve known about their weak security. These companies create shit like cloud and bluetooth and so called smart share all of which consits of you having to save personal data and images and other information on outside servers which who ever controls that server has access to. No one is too be trusted no matter what the promise is.  Man is easily corrupted and I trust no living human. Because anyone can be corrupt or can get corrupt with the right offering.

Questions about cloud and I'm getting information that's actually important

Almost 5 or 6 years ago I went to AT&t many times and nobody can find a problem but my phone kept searching and searching and finally one lady got a hold of my phone and told me that died phone was definitely the problem and I needed to erase everything so we did I kept having the same problems I wasn’t getting my clients calls they weren’t getting mine so forth everything was going downhill for me along with fraud insurance that didn’t get process correctly so forth I contacted someone about the fraud it didn’t get anywhere here in my state… Since the contact things have happened around here and I’m receiving things in my cloud that are nothing I would know about and there is it’s information that could be important to me or is important to me including things that I would not think that they would even know about but it’s actually information that I would need so maybe it’s not always so bad if your phone is being spied on so I’d like to know information on how to find out where your stuff is coming from that gets on your cloud if you are not the one that’s putting it in there I hadn’t even signed up for cloud and I got all this information. I don’t know what to do with it so I need some help . Thanks

From lady on April 18, 2022 :: 2:02 am

NO, factory resets are not enough, if they have access to other avenues like your keychain passwords when they got in the first time. I’ve done 5+ factory resets and gotten a new phone and number and they still got back in. There is probably more than one way to get into someones phone. Backups, access to their my Verizon or phone company log in, clever phishing attempts that install keyloggers and regain your icloud password. All that is needed to spy on a phone is the icloud password. It doesn’t even show any spyware apps installed and doesn’t need to be jailbroken.

I need help. ok, so heres how the story goes. One day a man came to my door and claims my husband of 20 years is seeing his girlfriend. I looked on his cell bill and he was getting alot of blocked calls. This also happened while I was in the truck with him and he would not answer.So I secretly placed a block on his cell and now no more blocked calls can come thru. The very next day he began calling this number 931-315-9988. I tried to search this number but nothing. about ten times a day he dials this number.I tried to call it but I cannot get thru. I have had about four other people try, they cannot get thru. But My husband continues to call this number daily. Can you call a number but it be blocked to all other phones? Could he be spying on me? Could it be a calling card? What is this crazy number that only he can call?

Why don’t you track your husband using GPS on his phone?. This way you would have tangible proof of what’s going on?. Because at this point there is only what that man at your doorstep said. I also suggest check his credit cards statements, bank accounts, receipts. That ougth to give you a clue of what’s goin on?.  I truly hope is something else for your own good.

Hello Caren. Blocked calls are exactly that. You can manage blocked calls. You can also White list a number. meaning you can Block all calls except who you want. In the age of digital options are only a click away. I get telemarketer calls all hours of the night and day. I put them in a Telemarketers Contact. then I click Block ALL calls for these numbers. This is an option of Android not iPhone. There are apps to do this. however, You can create a contact called BLOCKED. It’s the name of someone, not the actual Caller ID.

Signing into iTunes with a

From Suzanne Kantra on April 30, 2015 :: 11:55 am

Signing into iTunes with a different Apple ID shouldn’t change the Apple ID associated with the device’s iCloud account (see this documenation from Apple https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204053). And, when you sign out of an icloud account on a device, all of the documents and data that were stored with the original iCloud account are deleted from the device. So I’m guessing something else is going on here. Do you have a Family account (https://www.apple.com/icloud/family-sharing/) that includes your son’s Apple ID? That would provide access to a lot of shared info.

You download it. And send the person a text or email.

Once they’ve responded the hook from the spyware takes permanent hold of your IPS.

How sad. It used to piss me off so much,but I found one way to get a little payback. I thought it was over but I’m seeing things again that gives away clues that it’s her even though she found someone and disappeared 2 years ago. Sadly, they say sick warped people like her and other narcist never loved you, it was all their sick little warped fantasy world, but they always will think they owned you and you are three possession. Long story short, I know exactly what your talking about. Couldn’t even sit on the toilet without having to tape the cameras over so her sickness wouldn’t be taking pictures. God help that woman. I’ve seen tablets do some amazing things that even a policeman said he was an IT guy previous and it wasn’t pssible. What wasn’t possible was him telling the truth coz he was no computer expert and seemed to know less than I who knows very little. And the IT pros are learning more everyday. God help us all when the robot Sylvia or whatever is synced with every other PC and phone and robot in the world, and yes, they are mass producing robots in china, so that means soon they will be like cars.

It’s family who is just nosey period they scared your going to tell their mates their out doing the deed bec they not trustworthy to do it themselves so they scared of dumb crap as that simple to spy on you and just for the sake of being a old fart who is nosey and has no life of their own! You alwys give that kind of family a home phone never your cell! If you do all this and it’s still happening then the sources are google and Apple tracking you so go read Forbes magazine on snooping from Ad Trackers and Forbes called Apple and Others out it’s exactly why now they have a option if you don’t want 3rd parties to track you or Ad Trackers!

PLEASE HELP

Someone is hacking my Windows Lumia phone. They know EVERYTHING I do & EVERYWHERE I go. I have no one I can trust to help me figure out who it is. They mess with my internet and all sorts of things. People would think I were crazy if I told all. They probably know about this too. Oh well.I’m really scared and I need some help.

Random message came across my screen

From John Kovach on August 12, 2022 :: 8:46 am

I was wondering if anybody has ever had a random message come across there screen as like those screensavers from an old PC. It literally said “I can see up your nose “ and scrolled from the right to the left of my screen while i was going threw my email. And then literally disappeared as the old pc screen saver on a pc would come back on threw the other side of the screen.
