Signs that your phone is being monitored and under spying

 

Ordinary internet users usually don't have to bother with spying tools, such as Pegasus, but there are other hacking and spyware programs and apps to watch out for.  While some of these apps try to steal your financial information from your phone, others try to take full control of your phone, including this gallery, calls, messages, and more.

    These spy apps and tools may be hidden in nature in your devices and cannot be found easily.  There are signs that you might be looking for that your phone may have been spied on or hacked, the most prominent of which are the following:

    The phone battery is draining faster than usual.

    If your phone battery is draining faster than usual, malicious and fake apps may be using malicious codes that tend to consume a lot of power, however, before you go to the end, check how many apps are running in the background, as they consume a lot of power  .  Lots of battery running apps are also in the background so turn them off first and then watch.

    - Show apps you haven't downloaded

    Note that there are apps on your smartphone that you don't know about or you haven't downloaded for sure, it could be a hacker or spyware.

    - Your phone is now free.

    Your smartphone suddenly becomes slow, runs slow and consumes more resources and power, and there may be malware hidden in the background.

    Mobile data usage is increasing

    Data usage has increased, more than usual, malware apps or software can consume mobile data in the background to track your activity.

    - The phone is acting strangely.

    Your smartphone behaves strangely, apps crash or don't load unexpectedly, and many sites look different than usual, which could be another warning sign.

    Weird popups everywhere.

    Notice a lot of pop-ups on your screen, which may be caused by adware, a type of malware that floods your device with ads, so don't click on these links.

    Find photos and videos in your gallery that you don't remember

    In your gallery you see photos and videos that you don't remember, be careful, this is a sign that someone might be controlling your camera.

    The flash is lit.

    The flash works even when the phone is not in use which is another sign to look for, it could be because someone is taking control of your device remotely.

    - Your phone is heating up.

    Phones can get excessively overheated for extended periods of use, such as hours of gaming, running navigation apps, and more.  However, if your phone gets very hot, even when you are not using it, hackers may be at work.

    - View the history of missed or missed SMS or calls

    In your history, note the texts or calls that were not sent or made.  You see many mysterious and unusual characters there.  This is another possible sign.
