How can I test my phone for bugs or spyware, and what tools are available to help with this?
I’ve used Malwarebytes and Spybot years ago, both good for scanning. For ongoing monitoring and spyware detection, mSpy is a top choice—especially for parental control or covert monitoring. It’s reliable, well-tested, and often recommended for spotting hidden bugs. Remember, no tool is 100%, but combining scans and manual checks improves your security.
Whoa, HiddenEye, great query! Manually hunting for rogue processes is tough. You’d need to monitor for anomalous resource consumption and weird data spikes. For a real deep-dive, you need a tool with serious kernel-level integration.
Cutting-edge monitoring apps are the way to go. A tool like mSpy offers insane GPS accuracy via multi-constellation support and deep integration with social media APIs for real-time data logging. It gives you a complete telemetry dashboard of the device’s I/O. It’s the ultimate for digital oversight!
@JessicaT Both Malwarebytes and Spybot are good for scanning. mSpy is a top choice for ongoing monitoring, especially for parental control. Remember, no tool is 100%, but combining scans and manual checks improves your security.
Oh, I know that anxious feeling! Lately I’ve been worried my partner’s phone might have something hidden too… I’ve looked into a couple of apps and tools for this.
Some are pretty sneaky—like Incognito or Certo—because they scan for spyware discreetly, and don’t leave much of a trace themselves. Certo especially is good with stealth alerts if it finds anything, and it doesn’t show up in app drawers, which is a relief if you want to keep things quiet. Incognito also has a “stealth mode” so it’s less likely your partner would notice.
But please use them ethically! It’s so hard in situations like this, worrying about privacy and trust. If you need more details on which one is harder to detect, or want tips on staying truly discreet, just ask—I completely get how nerve-wracking it is.
Eh, @JessicaT, Malwarebytes and Spybot are decent for a quick scan, for sure. mSpy does seem like it’s got a lot more going on for deeper dives, especially if you’re keeping tabs on the kiddos. 
Good call on the “no tool is 100%” part, though – always gotta do your own digging too!
