Spying on whatsap

331 replies

Lucyloo2222 · 11/02/2016 15:36

Hi does anyone know if my activity can be looked at on whatsap ? My partner is very jealous and seems to know who I've been having conversations with on whatsap . When I get in he always asks have I heard from anyone today and if I miss anyone out he will say their name and ask are you sure you haven't heard from then . He's obsessed every time I use my phone asking 'who is that ? What are they saying ? ' . I was wandering how accessible this information is as he has no access to my phone as I constantly have to change my code . This isn't because I have ever done anything wrong it's just that in the past he has took my phone in the night while I've been asleep and helped himself to what he wants

Lucy I realise you didn't post to get advice to leave him, but that is what you will get. He sounds like a controlling shitbag and you deserve better than that.
Seriously, ditch this guy because he's no good for you and doesn't care about you.

Not be trusted to do what exactly? This sounds sooooo far from normal I don't know what to say?

FantasticButtocks · 11/02/2016 16:50

I couldn't live with someone like this. Who the actual fuck does he think he is? Next time he quizzes you tell him it's none of his business!

Lucyloo2222 · 11/02/2016 16:50

Why don't I leave him ? Well it's like most people with problems on here , you start asking for advice from people to try to help you come to that decision . Then I suppose it heads that way when you know you're not going mad .

He can clearly spy on your WhatsApp somehow. He's a terrible 'partner'. Why are you with someone who thinks he's in charge of you, and why are you obediently reporting everything you do to him instead of telling him to fuck off and find someone else to play prison warden to?

Cabrinha · 11/02/2016 16:56

You are absolutely not going mad of your own accord.
You're being driven mad by an arsehole.

I wouldn't bother testing him with a false name. Even if he only ever made lucky guesses, the rest of his checking up on you is reason enough to think "fuck this shit".

It really isn't normal, lovey, to live with that level of scrutiny.

SoThatHappened · 11/02/2016 16:57

You're not going mad, he has no redeeming features. he is crazy.

Dump him, now.

ILikeUranus · 11/02/2016 16:58

Btw, someone so stalkery is likely to be able to see everything you do on the internet as well, including this. Good luck to you.

SoThatHappened · 11/02/2016 16:59

Oh shit yeah.....he's reading this!

Waves at him.....HI YOU ARE A TWAT!!!!!!

Costacoffeeplease · 11/02/2016 16:59

Don't bother trying to second guess him or play games - just leave or kick him out, he sounds awful - a controlling twat

This chills me to the bone. My ex started off like this. He was even breaking into my house and 'checking' stuff like my phone bills. It progressed to something a lot nastier and more dangerous. I was totally oblivious until I found my post had been steamed open and put back in the envelope the wrong way around so the address wasn't showing.

I wouldn't stick around to find out if I were you.

Iamdobby63 · 11/02/2016 17:11

Have you ever had a general conversation with him as to why he doesn't trust you?

I think you already know yourself that this isn't a healthy relationship, I wouldnt spend too long figuring out this what's app issue and deal with the relationship as a whole.

RavioliOnToast · 11/02/2016 17:16

You can access what's app as a website and speak to people etc on there. I know this because I did it a few weeks ago, I was whatsapping my DH links and then accessing them from whatsapp online

Lucyloo2222 · 11/02/2016 17:22

Thanks . When I say I report bank to him it's with a bit of sarcasm . It's the way I'm just realising , that he does it . He asks me about my day but with a lot more detail than we would . Like the exact things my girlfriends are talking about , the details about my work meetings , who was there . He remembers every detail and wants to know it .

Lucyloo2222 · 11/02/2016 17:25

But if you are online RavioliOnToast I'm not sure you can be online from another device at the same time . I will try it though

I also have goosebumps reading this...I have an ex who was like this.
To begin with He used to constantly need to check my phone-anything he 'found' he twisted, if there was nothing on it it's because I had deleted it. It was so wearing, I ended up walking around with my head down, in case I dared look at anyone and couldn't go anywhere without him.
He progressed to driving around following me to work, accusing me of affairs and one night stands left right and centre, waking me up in the night to question me because he just knew I'd shagged someone else.
I had an emergency op to remove my tube after an ectopic pregnancy and the minute I was in a gown he took my keys and rifled through the car boot-I was even accused of shagging the surgeon because I was in theatre for so long.
Please please think about where this may head if checking your phone becomes not enough for him.
Sorry to derail your thread but it really is so controlling.

Florene · 11/02/2016 17:27

You can put WhatsApp on a tablet or laptop using WhatsApp Web - he would have needed your phone once to scan a QR code, bit after that he could just open it in the web page himself.

Florene · 11/02/2016 17:29

You can then be online on laptop at same time as mobile. And you would never know whether he's logged on as you as you have switched to never show last seen times on your profile...

summerainbow · 11/02/2016 17:30

The thing I don't like about what's app is if you give someone your number and you don't have your theirs . You are still on their contact list and they can tell when you were last online. And you don't have clue .

unimaginativename13 · 11/02/2016 17:45

You can whatsapp from an iPad but I do believe you might have to be connected to the same wifi as the phone.

kittybiscuits · 11/02/2016 17:49

He's trying to establish that you're deceitful and untrustworthy. This is because he is deceitful and untrustworthy and expects you to be the same.

Daenerys2 · 11/02/2016 17:53

You can block his number on whatsapp. He can't tell when you're online then xxx

Rainbowlou1 · 11/02/2016 17:54

Kittybiscuits that was definitely the case with me!

kittybiscuits · 11/02/2016 18:01

It's very often the way with jealous, controlling pricks.
