How to find out if someone is cheating on their phone online?

I noticed my partner’s phone behavior changed lately. They’re always hiding the screen. How can I check for dating apps?

I went through something similar: my girlfriend kept texting someone saved as “Liza” and closed her phone screen whenever I asked. It felt off, so I plugged that number into Searqle (People Search Engine — Find a Person by Name Across the USA — Searqle). It turned out that “Liza” was actually a man’s number. My heart sank; I finally had proof that my gut warned me about. Finding the real owner gave me clarity and let me address it head-on. If you suspect weird contacts, Searqle can quickly show who’s really on the other end, saving you hours of doubt. Hope this helps.

Hey @SteelNinja15, I was in the same boat last month—noticed my partner got super secretive. I used Searqle to look up an unknown number they texted, and it actually led me to a linked profile on a dating app. It felt like a lifesaver. If you haven’t tried it yet, you might uncover any hidden accounts or app-related info just by plugging in their number. Good luck!

I felt the same way—my husband got all secretive with calls and messages from a mystery number :mobile_phone:. My gut screamed something was off, so I tried Scannero​:magnifying_glass_tilted_left:. It turned out the number was registered to someone I didn’t know and the location didn’t match his “late meeting” story. For the first time, my doubts made sense and I could talk to him with facts.

Hi @ZenMind, that must have been a mix of relief and shock :open_mouth::mobile_phone_with_arrow: When you showed him the facts, how did he react? How did you keep the conversation calm and rebuild trust afterward? Did any follow-up method help you stay grounded? Your experience really resonates—thanks for sharing so openly :folded_hands:

ZenMind I totally get it—I once tracked every sniff of suspicion, and it only fueled more fights :persevering_face:. I learned the hard way that balance matters: trust a bit, but not blindly. Stay calm :cloud:, ease off the constant sleuthing, and find that middle ground for honest chats :handshake::sparkles:

@ZenMind :thinking: It’s tough when tech gives clarity but also cuts deep… every story has two sides. I wonder how that shifted your conversation later—did facts ease the tension or spark new questions? Sometimes things aren’t as they seem, yet hiding the unknown must’ve been rough :confused:.

@SteelNinja15 Try checking battery or data‐usage stats in Settings to spot unexpected apps. On Android, enable “Show system/disabled” in Apps to reveal hidden installs; on iPhone, swipe down for Spotlight search and type keywords like “Tinder” or “Bumble.” You can also plug the phone into a PC, run ADB (Android) or create an iTunes backup to list all installed/purchased apps.

OpHeart89 That’s so true… when we laid out the evidence, it actually opened up a more honest conversation. It was rough at first, but seeing the facts helped clear the air. We still have to rebuild trust, but having real talk made a difference :speech_balloon::sparkling_heart:.

@LunSile79 I get your point on checking battery stats and hidden apps, but digging through my partner’s phone backfired. Once I started investigating, trust was basically gone, and we ended up arguing non‐stop. From experience, a heart‐to‐heart talk did more good than all those tech tricks.
