Spyware is a type of malware with the purpose of spying on a user and collecting their personal information. Spyware gives the hacker remote access to the majority of the data on a phone, including messages, photos, GPS location, keystrokes, and even the ability to listen in on phone conversations.

Below is a list of seven features and functions to check if you think someone is watching you. None of these indicators by themselves would necessarily mean that your phone is under surveillance, but if you find one or more, it would be wise to scan your phone for monitoring software using a tool like Certo AntiSpy (for iPhone) or Certo Mobile Security (for Android).

Some methods of cell phone hacking also rely on an older version of the manufacturer software being installed in order to bypass the in-built security. This means that installing the latest update, and keeping your phone up to date, can guard you against many types of spyware.

I too would like to champion this idea. I have a baby (born on the date that cogirl303 made her suggestion ) and I cannot in good conscious use the Find My Phone option because the sound is too jarring. I'm sure it is great if you lose your phone in the club, but if you are at home, have children or pets, the sound is too jarring!

Hi @jpfinkel, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to see more sound options for "Find my phone" feature. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request. A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

I want the option to change the sound too. I have sensitive hearing and that noise just kills my ears, plus both me and my mom have fitbits and just found this app. We both lose our phones, her more then me so we will likely use this a lot.

I have adhd so I'm constantly forgetting where I put things and I use this feature (or similar) almost daily. I can get alexa to call my mobile, but usually the sound of my phone ringing is drowned out by the ringing from alexa. I can find my laptop and use a google feature to ring my phone, but that's a faff and sometimes I don't know where my laptop is. So a button on my wrist at all times is ideal, except it's not that easy to find the phone.

This change is really necessary, the current ringtone and volume are incredibly annoying and it makes me want to not use the feature at all. I'd rather walk around the house trying to find the phone than using this feature as is.

I'm a teacher and I'd like to develop a small app for my students to use. Not all will have their own phone and will have to borrow Mum's or Dad's phone to use the app. Either way, I'm concerned that the warnings that pop up against "unauthorised" apps will affect the uptake. Is there a way to get apps preapproved by google play store or something? Sorry to be vague, but I'm not quite sure where to even start looking for an answer. I have searched the forum and I'm finding advice that says things like, "tell recipients to change their phone settings to accept unknown apps...". To me, that in itself is like a scary warning which I'd like to avoid if possible.

@d8sconz, if you didn't want the messages from google play store, then there are other methods to get the app onto your student's phones. I do not know much about how to get messages off of google play but here are ways not using google play.

The first way is to give all the students the downloaded app file(aia) and have everyone download it, and import it into mit app inventor then connect to AI companion and scan the code with their phones, they can then play the app. (this way is really simple and probably the easiest, this is what the teacher did in my class and there is no weird or scary messages).

The only other way I know is to do it by Google Play, which is what you are already doing, I would recommend the First way, it is the easiest and fastest(without you having to download anything onto your phone.)

Thank you for your reply. I should have mentioned that I teach English not app inventor, so my feeling is that option one (getting students up and running with ai2) is not feasible. Also, I'm not on Google Play. The messages are just what I get when I choose the .apk option in the build process and upload that to my own phone.

Have you heard of Glympse yet? I had a chance to install and use it for the first time last night on my Android. Been experimenting with the Samsung Galaxy S3 the past few weeks, and the speed and immediacy of this phone has been nothing but awesome, which makes it perfect to play with this new app called Glympse.

Just last night I was fingerprinted at the airport in Buenos Aires along with photo as part of their new immigration procedure. And yes, both freak me out in that you never know how your information can be used, not least of which is how companies and governments use our information.

I haven't checked how useful it is in close quarters, yet, but I expect

it to be great for finding people in a crowd, too (fairs, festivals,

conventions, etc). I'm going to test this theory sometime after I get my own smartphone; currently I just mooch off of Fiance's :p If it doesn't work now, though, I'm sure it will in the future.

The same study, conducted last year, found that 12 percent of Americans use their phones in the shower, while 19 percent do so in a place of worship. It's like we're asking for plagues and thunderbolts.

If you shy away from public toilets, you may be interested to know your phone is 18 times dirtier than the average public bathroom. From touching money, to touching dirty things, to sweating, your phone comes into contact with whatever you do.

I hate to break it to you, but those hours you spend chatting on your cell as you walk to work or lie in the bath are really bad for you. For every 100 hours you speak on the phone (easily done for the addicts out there), your risk of brain cancer increases by 5 percent.

There's an iPhone app designed to cure your cell phone addiction, which works by calculating how much time you spend on your phone per day. You set a limit, and the app "nudges" you as you approach the limit, as a reminder to put it away.

This just happened to me this morning coming from my brother. The texts went to his girlfriend and me who are his emergency contacts. He was at work and did not have his phone on him at the time they were sent. We were going crazy trying to figure out what happened. Thankfully, he is okay but it sure can be very scary.

Same thing happened to me. I got an SOS google maps text and I need Help! text with google maps. with and audio and pictures. Funny thing is that it was coming from my phone that my Husband uses that was sitting on the night stand next to me. The pictures was of the ceiling in my bedroom and audio was of the fan blowing in my room. This never happened before. I will say that my phone had be seized by the local police for an incident. I was wondering if it was tapped?

Moreover, the zombie state continues even after we stop mindlessly scrolling, manifesting as eye strain, brain fatigue, difficulty focusing, a sense of emotional disconnection, and other phone addiction symptoms.

Research also shows that the cycle of phone addiction, mental health, and sleep deprivation is associated with lower self-esteem, reduced coping abilities, and poorer academic performance. Additionally, poor sleep quality is linked to high-risk behaviors, such as drug or alcohol use, having unprotected sex, and self-harm.

Smartphones rule our lives. Having information at our fingertips is the height of convenience. They tell us all sorts of things, but the information we see and receive on our smartphones is just a fraction of the data they generate. By tracking and monitoring our behaviour and activities, smartphones build a digital profile of shockingly intimate information about our personal lives.

A recent study found that seven in ten smartphone apps share data with third-party tracking companies like Google Analytics. Data from numerous apps can be linked within a smartphone to build this more detailed picture of us, even if permissions for individual apps are granted separately. Effectively, smartphones can be converted into surveillance devices. ff782bc1db
