Is it possible to see what I’m doing on my phone

From somewhere else?

My dh, possibly stbxh - long story, seems to know what I’m doing on my phone. He definitely hasn’t had access to my phone though. My phone is linked to my dc’s iPads but I didn’t think he could see what websites etc I’m visiting from there.

He’s a bit of a tech genius and I (obviously) am not. I haven’t downloaded any apps or anything that I don’t want him to see. In fact I haven’t really done anything I don’t want him to see but he somehow seems to know which websites I’ve been on.

Any ideas?

Yes but it’s illegal if he doesn’t own it. R4 did something about this ages ago.

Not sure how but I know my DH can see what searches I’ve done on my iPad by looking at his iPad. He showed me how to do private browsing and then he can’t see (useful at this time of year).

When we found out he could do it (and vice Versa) I started searching “ how to divorce your husband AND take all money”. He just laughed and said I was welcome to all the money but I had to take the children too...

You will be logged into each device using your google/apple equivalent account.

Searches and history are linked to the account and seem to be visible on any device used by the account which logs into it.

So it is probably possible to see what you are doing on your phone by looking at searches/history on DC ipad - as well as issues with your PSTBXDH, also be aware that it could give the game away WRT to Christmas presents for DC?

Ah, that makes sense then.

I’ve had a look on the iPads and my visited websites don’t seem to appear in the history? Is there somewhere else they’d be? Sorry I’m being so dense - dh seems to know stuff that I’ve posted in a forum despite doing it in a way I thought was pretty anonymous (not this one btw).

My DH can’t see that. He can only see my searches.

Do you have a Gmail account?

ShinyNewNameTimeAgain · 20/12/2019 13:20

No gmail account. And no real way he’d have been able to find the thread of my discussion without knowing exactly where it was. Very strange.

Any, suffice to say he’s going to be sulking about it all Christmas while I’m judged by his parents for the state of the house, my naughty children, the fact that I’m slightly overweight, my cooking, my clothes, my parenting and my spoiled cat who I let sit on the sofa. If you are reading this dh - I hate your parents Grin.
