After the recent privacy breaches and data leaks, everyone is starting to wonder "Is my phone being tapped?" Even though many users may not think there is a way to tell if their phone is being tapped, it is actually very easy to figure out. By following the steps we will mention below, you can also determine if your phone is being tapped.
1 - Pay attention to spyware!
There are two ways that your cell phone can be tapped. The first way is through spyware. You may be able to detect some spyware when you scan your phone's content. However, some spyware may be well-camouflaged. Therefore, the safest way is to enter the details of your phone bill and check your SMS messages.
Before these programs start tapping your phone, they send SMS messages to different numbers or devices. After the SMS is sent, your phone starts being tapped. The SMS messages will not appear in your phone's messages section. However, you can see who received which SMS messages and when they were sent by examining the details of your phone bill. If a message has been sent to a strange or unknown number, be careful! Your phone may be tapped.
2 - Pay attention to network services!
The second way your phone can be tapped is through network services. This will mostly be done with legal permissions obtained through court orders from government institutions. Unfortunately, there is no way to know if you are being tapped this way.
It is said that the signs of this kind of tapping include the phone overheating, the sound echoing on the other end, or the lines being cut suddenly. However, all of these are just urban legends. There is no way for you to know if your phone is being tapped through the network.
