To be freaked out by DD’s phone?

35 replies

DD’s phone is showing 82 pick ups for today, with a massive cluster around 3-6pm. But the phone was at home at that time with nobody there. She wouldn’t have looked at it since the morning - she didn’t take it to school, I picked her up from school and dropped her to her sport and she hasn’t been home yet.
Is there some logical explanation for this because otherwise it feels like someone has been in the house picking up her phone 😱

What does it register as a pick up? If the screen lights up.for an incoming message, would that be counted?

Seems that it was all after school time when her friends would start texting?

I got the info off her actual phone. She definitely couldn’t have logged into it from anywhere else - besides, at the time all the pick ups occurred she was either sitting next to me in the car chatting or at her sport.

No iPad, watch or any other device. Yes I mean the phone being picked up rather than calls coming in.

Hold old is she? Could she have access to another device with the same login details that's linked?

Confiscate her devices if she’s got an addiction

Are you getting the info off the actual phone, or from her account linked to your phone? Does she have an apple watch? I wonder if swipes on that would register as unlocks for her account?

@mum11970 I don’t think OP means phone calls. A lot of phones now tell you how many times the phone was picked up and looked at eg Facebook, checking the time etc per hour

Does she have an iPad? I can pick up calls on either. Are you sure it’s showing as calls answered? Who are they from? It’s more likely to be a tech malfunction than anyone in the house and answering 82 calls.
