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

"Rebelled"?!
WTAF?
That's the kind of patronising language you use to a child.

From the MSpy website in case anyone suspects they may have this on their phone:

How can I uninstall mSpy?
If you suspect that mSpy is illegally installed on your device, you can uninstall it using the following instructions:

iOS devices:

Go to Cydia > Installed > Click on IphoneInternalService > Modify > Remove

Android devices:

Go to Phone Settings > Security > Device Administrators > Update Service > Deactivate > Get back to Settings > Apps > Update Service > Uninstall

I maybe wrong but I believe if you activate find my iPhone it automatically opens location services.

Although it is important to know how he is doing these things, at some stage you need to think about how you are going to deal with it.

Cabrinha · 11/02/2016 19:46

I know it's easy for me to say, from the outside, just walk away.
But apart from the fact this all sounds very worrying, you also just (unsurprisingly) sound unhappy.
You absolutely do not have to live like this Sad

MissFlight · 11/02/2016 19:46

Jesus Christ op, you need to get away from this controlling twat, he sounds mentally unstable. He's badically stalking you.
He says you've 'rebelled'! WTAF

RoseValleyRambles · 11/02/2016 19:49

This doesn't sound good. Regardless of any other actions you might want to take, would a factory reset/restore of your iPhone be a good idea (do a back up first, so you don't lose contracts etc)? IPhone owners please correct me, but I think that would erase any apps there, hidden or not, so you could start with a clean slate, reset your password, etc. Then you can proceed as you think best, knowing you're secure.

Fallandfly · 11/02/2016 19:50

Is it a new iPhone? Has it got the find friends app? I don't know how it works as have mine switched off but think it's a tracking type thing

Fallandfly · 11/02/2016 19:51

Also my ex was similarly controlling and paranoid. It got worse, much worse. Please take care of yourself

AnyFucker · 11/02/2016 19:56

He is applying his own dodgy standards to you

OP, you are with a deceitful piece of shit. God knows what he is up to.

I don't think you are going to believe us though, are you. You have been stupidly flattered by the "loving attentions" of a controlling man. So now it smarts a bit, yeah ? Doesn't seem quite so "sweet" any more ?

Welcome to the rest of your life unless you end it with him. Time to wake up now. We don't need any more examples of what a manipulative abuser he is, but until you acknowledge that we are all pissing in the wind.

RoseValleyRambles · 11/02/2016 19:57

To add to that, I'd also want to make sure I was safe just in case he really did have something installed and was angry to find I'd got rid of it. What you say of his behaviour would make me pretty concerned he'd not take that lightly. Hopefully this isn't what's going on, but even so it sounds very unhealthy. Sad

Sallyhasleftthebuilding · 11/02/2016 19:57

I've had it out with him but he keeps saying he can't trust where I say I am because I've rebelled a couple of times.

Then say - if that's how you feel please leave! Keep saying it - you know you have to don't you?

Rainbowlou1 · 11/02/2016 20:13

You've rebelled =you haven't done what I say...
Wonder if he does what my ex did ..Does he pick arguments on a Thurs/fri so he can storm off and go out without you all weekend..then come crawling back on Sunday say sorry and start the questions again??
All the while checking my every movement but hiding his phone very well!
Please look after yourself

Lucyloo2222 · 11/02/2016 20:22

No he never goes out really . I never look at his phone as its protected with fingerprint

tipsytrifle · 11/02/2016 20:23

I gasped aloud when I read of how he intercepted and pulled you over after going to meet your friends. Then he interrogated you. Have you any idea how scary and psycho that is??

AyeAmarok · 11/02/2016 20:30

Your DP is Rob Titchener. Shock

OP, he does sound bonkers. However, there's another recent thread on here where posters are encouraging the OP to log in to her DP's phone while he's asleep to check up on him. The reason? He keeps his phone to himself!

All I'm saying is there are two sides to every story, and MN provides anything but.

Lucyloo2222 · 11/02/2016 20:44

Thanks . Also will check for spyware to uninstall if present

OP posts:
Babycham1979 · 11/02/2016 20:45

Anyfucker, he sounds bonkers. I wouldn't tolerate such behaviour. However, on the other thread, almost every poster is encouraging the OP to do this exact snooping/controlling!

AnyFucker · 11/02/2016 20:47

Who cares about the other thread ? It is of no consequence to the op here, who is actually quite a dangerous situation.

So bog off with your "there are 2 sides manpleasing bollocks"

AnyFucker · 11/02/2016 20:47

in quite a dangerous situation

dontcallmethatyoucunt · 11/02/2016 20:50

Oh good god, fucking save me. Two sides?

OP, this isn't going to improve. Do you have any support in RL? I can't imagine you'll be able to leave very easily. I'm not try to scare you, but your description worries me.

Marchate · 11/02/2016 20:51

'Two sides to every story' is the reason those men do so 'well' in couples' counselling, isn't it? Because the counsellor has been trained to give equal weight to each partner's pov

The facts speak for themselves here. Someone thinks he has rights over his partner's privacy and self determination

MissFlight · 11/02/2016 20:52

The phone is a bit of a red herring here, the main problem for the op is her paranoid partner stalking her and controlling her. He sounds desperate and dangerous to me. Take care op.
