You are not alone if the question has crossed your mind several times: Is my cell phone being tapped? More and more people are concerned about their private sphere, so many people rightly wonder how they can find out if someone is eavesdropping on private conversations, reading into messages, or possibly monitoring pictures and documents on the phone. There is no sure-fire way to catch a listening organization or person, but there are a few things that can help us find out if we are being monitored by spyware, call and text eavesdropping systems, or other tools.

Below is a list of the three most common ways to get your cell phone under control:

1. Hardware level check: Usually, when we turn off the mobile phone, we take it for granted that the phone is not working. Error! There are mobile phones that have a special hardware configuration that allows the normal user to think that the device is turned off, but is actually still working.
   The phone in this state is used to eavesdrop on conversations that take place near the mobile phone and to determine the location of the device. But what can be the solution? Turn off the mobile phone and place it near the TV, computer speakers or radio. If your smartphone transmits data even when switched off, it causes interference with nearby household appliances. If you have the phone’s original box, check the IMEI code on the box. This code is unique and can be retrieved directly by looking at the device information. If it doesn’t match what’s on the box, it means it’s most likely been replaced and someone is trying to spy on you.
2. SIM check: the card is handed over by the phone provider. There are two solutions for spying via the SIM: The police know whether the caller has one or more phone numbers by checking the IMEI code telematically. Through this search, the police will contact your phone provider, who will hand over your phone information, including text messages sent and received. They can also activate a wiretapping system, where each of your calls is recorded and listened to live. However, this procedure is very expensive and no judge can permit the inspection of your SIM card without a good reason. So if you don’t have butter behind your ears, you don’t have to fear this monitoring method.
3. Control using the operating system: Nowadays, all smartphones can be used to surf the Internet, play music and videos, and install countless applications. Today we are not talking about a simple mobile phone, but a small computer, and as such, they are bulky with malicious software can be attacked. Once installed, cybercriminals aim to monitor and secretly listen to everything you do with your phone. The application either records phone calls and logs phone numbers, or measures your GPS coordinates. They can know the content of messages sent on social media, but they can also easily access applications for banking or cryptocurrency services. What is the solution? Check your phone’s internet traffic regularly. Restore the operating system to factory settings, taking care not to reinstall the programs deleted with a simple backup. Have the device checked by a professional, as excessive battery consumption is not normal under normal use.
