Is there a way to find out if your ‘d’H is on a dating site without having to put in your phone number or Facebook?

I have some suspicions but honestly don’t have the first clue where to start.
His phone history is normally less than a day old and I have never caught any messages but it’s just certain behaviour that has me questioning.

He is quite secretive about his phone. He will let me use it but you can tell he is reluctant about it and wants the phone back quickly.
The history from his internet on laptop and phone is nearly always less than a day old which seems like an awful lot of bother to go to.

There are other things that have me questioning him, things like evenings away etc.

Obviously as I have never been on dating apps or needed to use escorts/sex workers etc I have no idea how to find out if my DH is using them. I feel completely out of my depth and lost.

People have mentioned something called pipl. You type someone’s name in and it comes up with sites they are registered with. As far as see though sometimes not just a persons full name is enough. If your partner has say a Twitter name try that too as they may be using it for other sites!

Thanks for that website but what the shitting hell, just typed my name into that Pipl thing and found 2 old dating website profiles that definitely weren't made by me (never even heard of them) with my name and photos. I was 14 years old in those photos Confused

Does he have an iphone?
If so it's easy to see where he spends his time.
Go into settings. Battery. Wait a few seconds. Scroll down to Battery usage.
You'll see the last 24 hours of usage. There will be another tab next to the 'Last 24 Hours' one showing you 'Last 7 days'.
So for the last 24 hours on my phone it's
Tinder 45%
Whatapp 14%
Home & lock screen 11%
Facebook 8%
Safari for me is only 2% which means I spend very little time on the internet.
etc..........

It's a quick look and he probably doesn't know about it.
I'm not sure if he can mess with it or remove it either??
And there probably something very similar on all smart phones.

Just put in any random email to set up an account take a photo of anything that can't be linked to you Grinas your profile pic and set the settings to radius of a few miles and search away see if he pops up fingers crossed he doesn't. Ps it works on where he is right now so if you search & he is at work 20 miles away then you need to set the radius to that probs best to do when he is at home Confused

Tbh I found pipl to be crap! I didn’t need to use it just curious because I saw it on here! Typed my name in and got nothing!

Google Swipebuster. You have to pay £3.99 or so but it's pretty accurate.. or so I've found (sigh)

How would you add a photo?

Obviously I don’t want it to be of me but I can’t just put in a random person from the internet can I?

I don’t feel ok putting a photo of a friend.
