How to investigate a phone if your partner is cheating

Is your spouse having an affair? Here’s how you can investigate

 Suspicious spouses have been told how they can legally snoop on their partner if they suspect them of cheating.

Mobile phone experts from SellCell say suspicion of infidelity can be a big driver causing people to snoop on their other half’s activity online.

But they warn that it is never acceptable to actually hack a partner’s phone and doing so could lead to arrest or even imprisonment.

Hacking a phone can simply mean obtaining a partner’s PIN code without their knowledge and then using it to access their phone and check on their activity.

Instead the experts have urged suspicious spouses to stay on the right side of the law and have suggested methods to probe a person’s mobile use without resorting to illegal hacking.

The methods include checking out the partner’s social media activity and keeping an eye on their WhatsApp to see if they’re messaging someone while in the bathroom.

In all the experts have identified 12 legal methods for auditing a partner’s mobile use to see if they could be a love cheat.

The guide gives advice on how to audit a partner’s social media use to see who they are connecting with and explains how to review their comments to make sure they are acceptable.

But the experts warn that suspicious spouses should ask themselves why they want to snoop on their partner and think very carefully before checking up on their loved one.

The guide urges snoopers to step away from their devices and enjoy some romance with their partner if they find no evidence of cheating or inappropriate messages.

But it also advises them to take screen grabs of any evidence they do find as it will be useful if they have to confront the partner.

The experts say the evidence will make gaslighting impossible and may even be useful if it comes to a future divorce.

A spokesperson for SellCell said: “Smartphones really do offer a window into the soul so for anyone who thinks their other half might be cheating they can provide conclusive proof.

“We would urge anyone compelled to snoop on their partner to think very carefully before doing so as they could be opening a can of worms.

“The truth is that millions of us have already secretly checked our phones to see what our partner’s are doing. But it’s important to know where to draw the line and it is never acceptable to hack a password or PIN number or to gain access to another person’s device without their permission.

“There are people who will need the reassurance of knowing nothing is going on. When they find it we urge them to put their phones down and enjoy some romantic time with their loyal partner.

“Sadly some people will find what they are looking for and in those circumstances it will be necessary to gather evidence so we have explained how to do that.

“Men and women have pondered these questions for centuries but in our modern age our smartphones can hold the key to reassuring us nothing is going on – or confirming our worst fears.”
