Whatsapp hacked but not sure how

[WhatsGoingOn3]

Apologies if this is long winded but I wondered if anyone else has had this and if they know what I can do to stop it happening.

Over the last few months, I’ve had issues with WhatsApp-somehow various screenshots of sections of conversation between myself and a friend keep being sent to my husband via texts from my phone, these screenshots are never in the photo section of my iPhone but they get sent to him always in photo form and always via text not actually WhatsApp. The screenshots sent are only ever between me and this same friend, never any other contacts and always to my husband. It also seems to be parts of conversation that I don’t necessarily want him to see (nothing bad before anyone jumps in, just things that I’ve been talking through with a close friend) It’s definitely not me sending them and I can’t see how the other person involved could be doing it either.

My phone was also being very weird a few months ago and kept adding this same friend to my find friends app and selecting a photo I have of them as a favourite person within my photo section.
It’s almost like my phone, this friends phone and my husbands phone have somehow kind of linked? Maybe I’m just going mad, I have tried wiping my phone back to factory settings which resolved the photo and find friends issue but the WhatsApp stuff is still happening.

If anyone has got this far with a boring but annoying issue I’d be very grateful!!

Just spotted in a mag. WhatsApp is hackable!

The most likely explanation is that it's your husband.
Change all of your passwords and see if it stops.

There's no way at all this could be random hacking - do you seriously think that?

Your husband or your friend is responsible.

are the photos looking like you are the sender or recipient? Obv your messages should be on the right

?

This will rule the friend out.

How do you know this has happened?

Did your DH point it out or did you see it on his phone and he acted all innocent?

If it was a hacker why would they want to take screen shots of private conversations with your friend and then send them to your DH?

It is most likely your DH doing it.

Check deleted photos/ messages to see what you can find.

I think it's your husband

The most simple explanation is usually the right one. Your husband is up to something.

Having read PPs' theories I agree that it's must likely your husband and he thinks you're incredibly gullible and is now gaslighting you.

This is really creepy and I don’t see how this could be anyone but your husband :(

Occam's razor = it’s your husband.

Some seriously scary gaslighting going on here.

I wonder how else he’s spying/controlling/keeping track/of you?

I think your friend is responsible.

But, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app?

Do you have a passcode on your phone? Change it and don’t tell your husband. I bet the texts will mysteriously stop.

It's your husband. Change your passcode to one he doesn't know and it'll stop happening

It's your DH, change up the codes but don't say anything

Keep the phone in your possession at all times. When sleeping, hide it.

Wait to see if it happens again.

I think you should take your phone into a specialist shop (without informing anyone, especially your husband) to see if there’s any spyware installed on it.

It's your husband.

It would be quite complicated for it to be the friend.

How did you find out the message were being sent to your dh?

Who has to gain by this?

A hacker? No.

Your friend? No. She could just repeat the info to your husband or show him on her phone.

Your husband. Yes. He can then comment on the private sentiments you shared with your friend.

If you discover it’s him then what are you going to do about it as it’s a horrible thing to have done to you?

I agree with others saying it’s your husband doing it OP. Can you try and catch him out?

I would think your husband was getting your phone, sending the screen shots then deleting evidence from your pictures x

Does your husband have an android phone? Or iPhone have joined the android generation of secondary apps. I have secondary apps for WhatsApp, Facebook, Snapchat and messages etc.... I just need a code from the original device. That would explain it being screenshotted... If you are both iPhone and they are linked then he can opt to use "your number" for imessage its in the settings.

These secondary apps I use to monitor my tween without having to go through her phone.....

Oh come on.....

On android its called a twin app......

@combatbarbie
I think you’ve solved how her husband has done it... oh my...
