12 Secrets To Detecting Spyware On Your Android Phone by Okd1: 3:25am On Oct 02, 2016
The latest Android smartphones come with premium hardware and software features, which is why some users don’t even need computers any more. You can do almost everything on your Android device that you can do on a regular Windows PC. While smartphones are becoming similar to computers in usability, Android spyware and viruses are becoming more prevalent.

At this point you may possess more private information on your phone than you do on your PC. We end up with a lot of our lives on our phones. Privacy is one of the biggest issues on smartphones and if you’re wondering whether someone is tracking your phone or spying on your phone, then continue reading. There are many spying apps, and people can easily install them on the phones of other users in order to monitor them.

Having an understanding of what these spying services can and can’t do is necessary for detecting spyware and knowing how to get rid of it. In this post, I’ll share with you several tips that can indicate that your phone is being tracked or spied on, and what can be done about it.

1. Look for Unusual Or Strange Behavior from Your Phone

One of the most common ways to detect spyware is to check for odd or strange behavior from your phone. If there is spyware or tracking software installed on your phone, then chances are your phone will act a little differently. Rooted phones are more susceptible to these attacks and unusual behavior. Watch what apps, browsers, websites, and services you use and change your passwords frequently.

2. Battery Drain

Another useful way to find out whether someone is spying on your phone is an increase in battery usage.

Spyware and tracking apps can drain your phone’s battery, especially if they’re running constantly.

3. Noise During Phone Calls
