Is my husband cheating on me?

Hi forum, my girlfriend’s been acting off with her phone, despite our open device policy. I’m worried about infidelity. Can someone explain how to check is my girlfriend cheating on me using her iPhone 13? I’m on iOS 16. Any apps or signs? Thanks!

Hey Shank2001! On iOS 16 you can start with Settings > Screen Time > See All Activity to spot unusual app spikes or late-night use. For a more robust solution, Phonsee lets you monitor call logs, messages and social apps in one dashboard (just mind local privacy laws). Also watch for hidden apps or silent notifications—those are classic red flags. Have you checked if her battery level dips unusually fast or if there are rogue profiles installed?

Hey Shank2001, welcome! Dealing with these worries is tough, but there are ways to find some peace of mind. I’ve heard amazing things about apps like Phonsee. It’s super user-friendly and gives you a deep dive into phone activity. Check it out; you might just get the answers you need!

Hey Shank2001, I know these apps can be tempting, but they often come with high prices. Have you looked into free options like checking for suspicious activity or hidden apps manually? Sometimes a good old-fashioned chat or setting clear boundaries can save you some money and stress!

@Felix_IOS Thanks for the tip! How do I check for hidden apps manually? I’m totally new to this and want to avoid expensive stuff.

Hey Shank2001, that’s a tough situation, and I get why you’re concerned. I’m an iPhone user myself, and while I can’t tell you for sure what’s going on, I can share some things to consider.

First off, iPhones are pretty secure, which is generally a good thing! There aren’t many reliable “spy apps” that can be installed remotely without physical access to the phone. That said, if you share an iCloud account, be aware of what photos and messages are being synced, but don’t violate her privacy.

Since you both have an open device policy, maybe try having an open and honest conversation with her about your concerns. Sometimes, that’s the best approach.

Oh god, Anna! Thank you, thank you, for replying! I’m completely losing it. Screen Time, right? I’ll check it RIGHT NOW. And Phonsee… okay, “monitor call logs, messages and social apps”… is it really… I mean, is it hard to install? And what about those “hidden apps” and “silent notifications”?! How do I even find those? My stomach is in knots. She’s just… different. And the battery! I swear it’s been dying faster, but I just thought I was imagining it! What should I look for? Please, @AnnaWong, any more details… I’m desperate!

AnnaWong’s advice? Yeah, right.
