We are here living our best life in the technologically most advanced world. The world has become a global village and almost everything is possible online. From learning to playing to chatting, shopping, etc. So with those luxuries and ease came the online threats and hacking issues. The cybercrime rate is on a continuous rise. In these circumstances, everyone should be careful and take precautionary measures for a safe online experience. Well, it will not be a big surprise if anyone of us finds out that there has been a monitoring app installed in our cell phone or any other gadget and we have been monitored. It is not like in the past that these things happen only in a sci-fi movie or an action thriller. Well anyone can face this kind of scenario and we are here to tell you about the ways through which you can detect the presence of any spy app in your cell phone and how you can get rid of them.

Thoroughly Observe the Signs:

Whenever a spy app is installed in the cell phone it shows some random signs that can be detected if thoroughly observed and noted. For example,

• You might face some issues in restarting your device. Either it will not be able to restart or will start restarting abruptly. A hindrance in restarting a gadget shows that some third party app is working in the background which is not allowing the device to restart. Sudden Restarts also shows that someone has remote access to your device.
• Another sign is distortion during the calls. If you are hearing weird random voices, sounds, or beeps during your calls which does not belong to either the caller or receiver then it might be due to spy app involvement.
• A random text message that shows symbols, letters numeric, or number patterns or emoticon can also be due to outside involvement. This can be from a third-grade spy app as they use these weird numbers and letter patterns as code words to communicate. This might be a sign that some function is not working properly and they need to send an instruction to the feature via code words.
• Another sign that can be related to the spy app installed in your device is heating up of battery or deteriorating battery life. As the spy app work in a way that they record all the activity of the device and then send it to the user. This consumes battery. So if your battery life is gradually decreasing and the phone is heating up without excessive use then it can be a sign of a spyware attack. Make sure you have new a battery as it can be a sign of an old battery that needs replacement.

Time to Take Action:

If you are experiencing these kinds of signs you can also directly confirm that in case of android users.As you can simply find the App Management under the Settings folder and can check all the files of your device. You can manually search some keywords like monitor android phone, spy, screen, etc, and delete it from the phone. Delete all the useless files from your phone. This might not work for those high-quality apps that use code words instead of clear words that can relate to monitoring or spying. In that case, you can take technical help and remove any kind of spy apps from your device. In the case of iOS users, you need to keep your phone updated through iTunes. An update will remove any possible third party involvement or lessen the chance of jailbreaking. You can also manually restore or backup your device with the help of iTunes as well.

Still Skeptical? Well Try the Final Solution:

If you are still in the doubtful state and are unsure about the fact that you still are under monitoring or surveillance. Then we have a final solution for you. You can simply restore your device to factory setting to remove any kind of monitoring app.
