Is Your Phone Spying on You? 5 Alarming Signs to Watch For

Ok so let’s be real. We all have had those moments where you say something out loud and then BAM whatever it was you were talking about you start seeing on your timeline! (Wingstop, I’m talking about you!)

Is it the FBI keeping tabs on us, our ex trying to creep us out?! Who knows, but one thing is for sure, most Americans have that feeling that someone is watching us and Yeah, we might not be totally paranoid.

A spyware expert dropped all the details on five red flags that your phone is lowkey being used to track your every move. Whether it’s a nosy ex or some weirdo hacker, here’s what to look for:

1. Your battery is dying faster than usual.

If your phone’s battery is draining for no good reason, it could be GPS spyware doing the most in the background.

2. Your phone gets hot way too easily.

If it's heating up while chilling on the table, that’s suspicious. No apps open, but it’s spicy? Might be time to panic (just a little).

3. Your data usage is WILD.

Not streaming, not scrolling, but somehow you’re blowing past your data cap? Yeah, something shady might be lurking.

4. You get weird texts that vanish.

Random codes? Strange messages that ghost you? Some spyware apps use hidden SMS commands to creep without a trace.

5. Your phone lights up like it saw a ghost.

If your screen randomly turns on while you're not even touching it... THAT’S PROBABLY THE FBI!

If this sounds like your phone, run a security scan ASAP or—if you're feeling brave—do a full factory reset. And remember….. SOMEONE IS ALWAYS WATCHING! SO, BEHAVE!
