Do I Have Spy Software on My Cell Phone?
Do I have spy software on my cell phone?
It can be hard to tell, especially if someone intentionally infected your phone.
Why would someone do that?
A parent who wants to know what you are text messaging or sexting, a jealous lover who wants to track your location.
The NSA tracking our every move.
Nah. They get all that data through the ISPs, so they don't need to put spyware on your phone.
How can I tell if I have spy software on my phone?
If the data charges are sky high and it isn't because you have location services on all the time, someone else may be spying through the phone. For example, an infected phone may record all your conversations and send the audio to a cloud server.
I have high phone bills anyway.
If the phone turns on after you've turned it off, that's a good indicator someone else is controlling it. So are weird background noises when you talk, because some spy apps turn every call into a conference call.
My battery keeps running out.
That might be because you don't charge it fully or it's in need of replacement.
I get a lot of weird text messages.
If you clicked on a link in one, you could have infected the phone with malware.
I wish there was an easy way to tell it was infected like a file called virus.
In the 1990s, there were tech support calls because the antivirus software was in a Virus file, so people called thinking their machine was infected. But modern spyware has a neutral sounding name so it isn't obvious.
What can I do?
Have you jailbroken your phone? That creates an open door on many phones, and in some cases, the jail break app is an infection in and of itself.
How can I fix it?
Turn it off and take it to the phone store to get scanned for a virus. Or restore factory defaults and see if the strange behavior stops.
And if not, get a new phone.
But be careful transferring your old apps and files, or you could infect the new one.
