Hello ! I hope I’m at the good place. A friend of mine asked me :
How do I know if someone has physically accessed my phone? Knowing that this person knows my unlock code. Also, how do I know I’m not being spied on remotely?
I didn’t have the answer and thought I might as well ask there. Thank you.
EDIT : His phone is a Samsung Z Fold 3 is that can help !
There are apparently some apps for this specific case, like WTMP “Who Touched My Phone”. I haven’t used it, though.
If they have your passcode then no? Why would you give your passcode to someone you don’t trust?
I don’t know, I don’t have all the details. But people you trust today might not be worthy of trust tomorrow, I guess.
At this point I’d back up your photos, etc, and factory reset the phone. Then use a different passcode. Don’t forget to back up MFA credentials so you can get into your Google account after the reset.

Great ! Thank you a lot !
It would depend on the type of phone. Is it an iPhone or Android?
It’s an Android.
EDIT : A Samsung Z Fold 3 to be more precise.
Check for apps that are running in the background after you have closed everything.
From what I understood, it didn’t just happened. A certain person knows things about him that he never told, or something like that.
Thanks for the suggestion, though. That’s a nice idea.
It could be semi-public details. A google search and someone’s social media can give you a lot of information on a person, depending on how safe their internet practices are. Generally all you need are two or three details to find out more personal information if you wanted to.
