If someone whatsapp you a picture it will auto go into your gallery, even if you haven't opened the message.

Wildthyme · 01/03/2020 21:43

Mine does nothing but recieve messages when I'm not using it.

Lucylooooo · 01/03/2020 21:46

Deliberately being vague for the moment. Not trying to be difficult!

I've rang friends by mistake before, just phone not being locked and rolling around in handbag

Lucylooooo · 01/03/2020 22:01

Phone was downstairs. I was upstairs. I've also checked from my work phone my last active which was the time the call was made.

Anyone else in your house that could have made the call OP?

Lucylooooo · 01/03/2020 22:28

Yes but he is completely denying being on my phone. Many issues in the relationship and this is the final thing. I think he's also switched on location as I keep getting some arrow up on my phone. But I can't work out what he's done. Now he's left and gone home the arrow has gone again. He's trying to mug me off.

My2catsarefab · 01/03/2020 22:34

Yep he's been on your phone, looking through your whatsapp and accidentally phoned whoever's message thread he was looking at.

You can turn off location in your settings.

Lucylooooo · 01/03/2020 22:40

I think it was my call list on there as he called my DAD!! Cue a message from my dad that's come through on my Fitbit while I'm upstairs asking if I called! I've just had enough of his games.

Go to settings and turn your location off.
OP do you have a iPhone?

Lucylooooo · 01/03/2020 22:48

Yes I do. What happens if I need to turn them back on?

OP posts:
PixieDustt · 01/03/2020 22:52

I bet you he has put your location on your find my
iPhone.
In the new find my iPhone app you can share your location with other people.
Go onto find my iPhone app. Then go to people.
If he is on there then he has gone on your phone and 'allowed' location to be shared with him.

PixieDustt · 01/03/2020 22:53

If he has done it and you didn't know about it then he can't say you allowed it because you have to physically allow it on your phone via the app.

BusterMove · 01/03/2020 22:58

If you go into WhatsApp settings you can screen it to require Touch ID to log in. I am not advocating this if it will anger your partner or lead to an argument etc. But the setting is there, in account- privacy (in the app, not on your phone settings)

Lucylooooo · 01/03/2020 22:58

No I have no one on there. He categorically denies going on my phone.

HelloAgainYou · 01/03/2020 22:59

You can't WhatsApp via a laptop. Very easy.

Canadianpancake · 01/03/2020 22:59

What a CF! Get him binned!

Lucylooooo · 01/03/2020 23:03

@HelloAgainYou you've confused me there.

OP posts:
Alocasia · 01/03/2020 23:03

Do you have the ‘Find my friends’ app? The new version of it is called ‘Find My’
Check that and make sure it’s all as it should be.
Also go into settings > privacy > and go through the list of apps making sure it’s all OK.

BusterMove · 01/03/2020 23:03

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz you can turn that setting off- very handy for the millions of memes one person posts every day...

Samtsirch · 01/03/2020 23:03

You mention that this is the final thing, so he has presumably overstepped the mark before and it seems plain that you feel very uncomfortable in this relationship.
You said that he has gone home , so you don’t live together,which perhaps will make it a lot easier to get out of this relationship than if you shared a home / family.
I would get out quick.

Lucylooooo · 01/03/2020 23:03

It's winding me up more that he's lying blatantly when it's impossible to be another explanation.
