Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if someone is snooping on my phone?
Common signs: messages marked as read that you never opened, apps left open, unfamiliar browser history, new screenshots, and Screen Time showing use when you weren't on your phone.
How do I catch someone going through my phone?
Install an intruder-detection app like WYTMP (Android) or CrookCatcher - WTMP Anti Theft (iPhone). It silently photographs whoever uses or tries to unlock your phone and records the time and GPS location, so you have proof.
Can I catch someone checking my phone while I'm asleep?
Yes. The app keeps working in the background. When you wake up you'll see a photo, the exact time and the location of each attempt.
What is a fake home screen trap?
CrookCatcher Pro can show a decoy home screen. A snooper thinks they got in, while the app captures them. Your real home screen opens only with your secret PIN.
