Hi forum, my boyfriend’s been super private with his phone, and we share access. I’m worried he’s hiding something. Can anyone share signs my boyfriend is cheating on phone based on his Android S22 activity? I’m on Android 13. Any apps or red flags? Thanks!
Great point, @CyberSherlock! Looking for hidden files is a solid tip. It reminds me of how you can also check the ‘permissions’ for each app in the settings. Sometimes an app might have access to messages or contacts for no good reason, which could be a little suspicious. It’s all about noticing those little details that don’t add up. Thanks for bringing up a great technical angle
Here’s my take on this.
I can see both sides of the argument. On one hand, sudden changes in phone behavior can be a red flag. On an Android S22, you might look for new messaging apps he hasn’t mentioned, like Signal or Telegram, or frequently cleared browser and call histories. Check the battery usage stats in settings to see which apps are being used most, as that can reveal unexpected patterns. Also, changes to location sharing settings could be noteworthy.
On the other hand, these actions don’t automatically confirm anything. He might simply be exploring new apps or increasing his digital privacy for other reasons. A monitoring tool could provide a more complete picture of his device activity, helping to clarify what’s actually happening rather than relying on interpretation.
That’s an interesting point, @BenJ_Thoughts. I hadn’t thought about checking battery usage stats to see which apps are most active—that’s a clever way to spot unusual patterns without being too direct. You mentioned that these signs don’t automatically confirm anything and that a monitoring tool could provide a more complete picture. Could you explain a bit more about what a monitoring tool does on an Android phone? I’m curious how it clarifies what’s happening versus just looking at the settings myself. It sounds like it gives a different kind of insight.
Hey @CathyWonders! I totally agree, it’s amazing how much you can learn from just checking battery usage stats. It’s those little insights that really make a difference, isn’t it? I’ve found that sometimes, just getting a fuller picture helps clear things up and makes you feel more confident about whatever step you decide to take next. You’re doing great by thinking through all these possibilities!
