Just about every connected device you have can be used to spy on you, and this isn\u2019t limited to smart speakers and webcams. Here\u2019s how to stop your TV from tracking you<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It gets worse. I was in the pool recently, and a drone flew overhead. More than a million registered hobby drones<\/a> are buzzing around the country, and countless unregistered ones, too. Use these steps to avoid being watched.<\/a><\/p>\n

What about your text messages? Our texts aren’t always private, unfortunately. There are sly ways others can intercept your messages. Here\u2019s how to know if someone is snooping.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to be a tech whiz to intercept Apple iMessage texts. There are a couple of ways to sneak a peek.<\/p>\n

First, there\u2019s message forwarding. As the name implies, this feature forwards messages to another device automatically<\/a>. The problem: someone else can do the same thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to check if it\u2019s enabled:<\/p>\n

While you\u2019re at it, use a code to see if your calls and texts are being forwarded.<\/p>\n

Note: This doesn’t work with every carrier and every model, so results may vary.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll get a screen with details on the activity of your calls, SMS messages and even faxes. If they are listed as Disabled, you\u2019re OK. Tap Dismiss<\/strong> when you\u2019re finished looking at the data to go back to the regular screen.<\/p>\n

Want to know more?\u00a0<\/strong>Here are detailed instructions on how to check up on your call forwarding settings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you find any issues with your phone settings, someone likely got into your phone, iCloud account or both. Change your passwords and PINs immediately.<\/p>\n

Getting locked out of iCloud is a pain. Here\u2019s how to get back in if you ever need to.<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyone, not just hackers, can use spyware<\/strong><\/p>\n

Developers advertise spyware to protect your children from predators and make sure bad actors aren\u2019t scamming your loved ones. Here are the 10 best apps to see what your kid is doing on their phone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sure, it makes sense, but there\u2019s no preventing someone with bad intentions from using this software to keep tabs on you.<\/p>\n

One popular app, mSpy<\/a>, monitors text messages, calls, and social media interactions. The app can be installed remotely on an iPhone if you have the proper iCloud credentials. For Android phones, someone will need physical access to install it.<\/p>\n

Once that\u2019s done, your messages and more are in another person\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n

mSpy certainly isn\u2019t the only app of its kind out there. Other apps to watch out for include SpyBubble, XNSPY, Cocospy, Spyera, EyeZy, uMobix, and Hoverwatch. This is not an exhaustive list, but for the most part, the clues are in the names themselves.<\/p>\n

Plus, apps like Dr. Fone let someone access your past messages via iCloud and Android backups.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss these 10 vital tips to secure your devices with strong passwords<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Check your phone now<\/strong><\/p>\n

Start by checking your apps. Are there any unfamiliar ones that you don\u2019t remember installing? Get rid of them. This is a good practice to perform regularly.<\/p>\n

WITH APPLE SUPPORT, YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO STRUGGLE WITH YOUR DEVICE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Delete apps on your iPhone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Delete apps on your Android phone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are signs to know if your phone is infected with spyware<\/a>, malware, or viruses. Look out for strange incidents like your phone shutting down on its own or constantly losing connection during calls.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here are more spyware signs to watch for:<\/p>\n

What if you find one of these apps or another one that looks suspicious? Change your PINs and passwords immediately. Next, back up and factory reset your phone. Find steps for both processes here.<\/a><\/p>\n
