Pay Attention to Phone Habits
If something feels off and you’re not sure where to start, pay close attention to how they treat their phone.
As an Illinois Licensed Private Detective, I’ve seen countless cases where the truth wasn’t in a confrontation—it was in the small, everyday patterns most people ignore.
🔒 New Obsession with Privacy
If they’ve suddenly added a lock screen, changed their passcode, or keep their phone face-down 24/7, that shift in behavior might not be random.
Insecure people cheat. Cheaters hide things. And phones are the modern vault.
📲 Hiding Notifications or Going Silent
Do texts no longer preview on the lock screen?
Is the phone always on silent or do-not-disturb?
If they’re hiding alerts, it’s fair to ask—who are they hiding them from?
★ Faraday Phone Signal Blocking Bag
Blocks all incoming/outgoing signals while the phone is inside. A clever way to test if your partner gets nervous when they’re temporarily disconnected.

📵 Bathroom Breaks = Phone Breaks
Taking their phone with them everywhere—even into the bathroom?
It’s suspicious if that behavior is new. People rarely leave a source of communication behind when they’re afraid of someone else seeing it.
🧠 Distraction and Emotional Distance
Constantly checking their phone while you’re talking?
Smiling at texts and then locking the screen?
It’s not always cheating—but if you feel emotionally second place to their phone, it’s worth watching closely.
★ Mini Voice-Activated Recorder
Place it in shared spaces—like a kitchen drawer, car console, or workspace—to capture ambient conversations when phones are being used nearby.

🔍 Investigative Tools to Confirm Suspicion
Hidden Phone Monitoring Apps: If legally permitted and installed on a shared or owned device, apps like mSpy or uMobix allow you to see call logs, texts, GPS, and more.
Keyloggers & Activity Mirrors: With proper legal use, these tools can capture typed data and even screen activity—ideal if your partner uses a synced device like a laptop or tablet.
★ Hidden Audio Recorder in USB Charger
Looks like a normal charger but records audio. Place it in rooms where private conversations happen.
