Do you wonder if someone is secretly looking at your iPhone when you’re not there? We will show you how you can find this out very easily!
Check if someone has secretly looked at your iPhone
Do you have the feeling that someone regularly uses your iPhone without telling you? To start with, make sure that your iPhone is properly secured, so that it does not really do any harm if your suspicion turns out to be true. Also read the article iPhone tips: 3 ways to make your iPhone even more secure.
Would you like to be sure whether you are right or not? Then there is something else you can do. You can ensure that the person is automatically photographed when they actually do what you think. You can achieve this by linking the opening of a certain app to taking a photo. We’ll show you how that works.
- Open the Assignments app;
- Tap ‘Automation’ at the bottom and then the plus sign at the top right;
- Under ‘Personal Automation’, tap ‘app’;
- Tap ‘Choose’ and then tap the app you want to protect;
- Now tap the check mark at the top right and then tap ‘Next’;
- Tap ‘Create new assignment’, search for ‘Take photo’ and tap it;
- Make sure the front camera is set up;
- Turn off ‘Show camera preview’;
- Tap the check mark at the top right;
- Open the automation you created and select ‘Run immediately’ behind ‘Automation’.
- Tap Done.
From now on, when someone tries to secretly open the app you set up above on your iPhone, a photo will automatically be taken with the selfie camera!
Other options
Another thing you can do if you suspect someone is secretly using your iPhone is hide apps you don’t want anyone to see. You can read how to do this in the article Hide app(s) on your iPhone: this is the fastest way to do it. You can also choose to protect apps. Read the article to (additionally) secure an app on your iPhone with Face ID (this is how you do it).
