Stolen photo?

[fatgirlonthebeach]

I recently went to a friend's birthday party and as you can imagine, lots of photos were taken by everyone there. I also took a lot of photos on my mobile phone and I have just noticed that someone else who was there has posted a photo which I took on the night onto a Whatsapp group.

The photo is definitely the one I took, there is absolutely no doubt about that.

I didn't send this photo to anyone and am completely baffled as to how someone else could have got it off my phone as it was definitely in my possession all evening. Does anyone have any idea how this could have been done please?

@FallenSky. The poster seems to asking the question you are asking. That is how is this possible. I'd say if I knew, but I'm not a hacker.

A request for knowledge to help keep us all safe is good thing. Such a shame the request meets with patronising derision. Not from yourself by the way.

Wouldn't a normal person of just asked you to send it to them? Instead of this frankly insane explanation 🤷

@Malaka123

Can you explain how the man remotely accessed his partner’s phone whilst the partner was at a party and instructed that phone to retrieve data specifically from the op’s phone?

And why.

@Soola I love me some Richard Ayoade.

I'm not techie at all, but this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!

Unless the photo was uploaded to the cloud thingy (did I mention I'm not techie?) then he couldn't possibly have stolen the photo from your phone by using a tracker on someone else's (a tracker, really?)

He'd have needed access to your phone to plant his "tracker thingy".

I know this and I can only just about turn my laptop on. Come on! If that explanation was plausible, it'd be all over the news, and no one would dare have a phone or computer because everyone's data would be swiped left right and centre. I know people can hack, just not in the way you're saying they can.

OP: moans about trivial but slightly odd problem
MN: tries to help
OP: is rude to those trying to help and adopts patronising tone. Then the escalates issue into one of personal security
MN: techie folk doubt /question OPs grasp of issue
OP: becomes Ranty and rude to MN
OP: starts making up stuff
OP: digs in and repeats the nonsense while accusing MN of being thick
MN: HAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Happy Friday everyone

OK, so suspending disbelief for a minute...

Your mate has a creepy stalker boyfriend who monitors her phone and posts your photo online to 'prove' he knows everything she does and sees, even when it pisses off her friends - and you've got a problem with her?

Malaka123 I'm not sure it is implausible friends having the same phone. I often choose my upgrade because I have liked a phone a friend has. Three of my close friends and two family members have the same phone as me.

I think the part I love the most about this is the fact that this guy apparently used this highly illegal, highly rare non existent technology to nick a shitty party popper photo. Like, the OP’s photography skills are apparently so amazing That the friend’s DP, despite not even being at the party (?); somehow knew that the OP had taken a breathtakingly beautiful photo, took control of his partner’s phone, ‘hacked’ into the OP’s phone using nefarious means, then stole only that photo ... all for some pathetic credit on WhatsApp? The pettiness is hilarious!

I am dead.

@FallenSky Malaka sounds like the OP tbh

ODFOx - exactly how have posters tried to help? Few have been helpful but most of you have just been insulting from the very start. If they dish out rudeness then that is what they deserve back. Your post is no better than the majority of the others. If you don't want to believe what's happened then that's up to you, it makes absolutely no difference to me whatsoever.

Mitzik - I don't have a problem with her. I initially thought it was her because her name showed up as the one posting the photo, so I (obviously) assumed it was her. As anyone would I think). Her DP has since admitted it was him, using her phone, so now I know that I don't have a problem with her, I have a problem with him. Simple.

MummyG85 - I have realised that I am not dealing with a normal person. Why anyone would want to do this is beyond me.

I hope you have reported him to the police

If he is that tech savvy why is he using WhatsApp. Anyone who knows anything about phone security uses Signal.

Please tell us op how you confronted the partner and if he explained why he chose your photo to steal our of everyone else in the room

This has got to go in classics!

@absolutelydidnothappen ohhh it’s her

Op you definitely have to tell friends (mossad) partner market the technology, can you imagine t how much time the police etc will save when looking for missing people or criminals now

Fucking hilarious 😂😂😂

I hardly ever read through threads that have 9 pages, I have so many better things to do, yet for some reason I was absolutely compelled to read to the end.

That's a good 20 minutes of my life I'm not getting back..

What a load of bollocks I've just read haha.

In the words of my long deceased grandad, what a load of cobblers!

🤯

Yep, didn't happen!

Who knew the best photographs were taken by those with hairy arms.

Top work OP
