FAQ

We created this test to help people who suspect strange behavior on their phones, like read messages without explanation or frequent crashes. It checks for possible signs of unauthorized access to WhatsApp — in a simple and free way.

Anyone who uses WhatsApp regularly and wants to know if they’re protected. The test is especially useful for people who work with the app, share personal information, or have noticed suspicious changes in phone behavior.

No. The questions are simple and based on real situations anyone can understand. You don’t need any digital security knowledge to complete the test.

Totally safe. No personal information is collected or stored. The purpose is only to guide you based on your answers, with no risk or exposure.

No. It works as an initial alert. If the result shows possible signs of spying, it’s best to follow security recommendations — such as installing a good mobile protection app and reviewing your WhatsApp settings.

It means your phone might show typical signs of digital spying, like messages marked as read without being opened, frequent crashes, or fast battery drain. These are warning signs — especially for users who deal with sensitive information.

If your WhatsApp is being accessed without permission, your messages, photos, and even shared documents might be exposed. This compromises your privacy and can affect both personal and professional data. The sooner you act, the better.

We recommend the following steps:

  • Enable two-step verification on WhatsApp

  • Check for unknown active sessions via WhatsApp Web

  • Install a mobile security app like Norton, Avast, or Malwarebytes to detect spy apps and protect your data

Avoid sharing sensitive data (personal ID), passwords, or addresses via message. Use a password or fingerprint lock for the app and check battery/data usage regularly. These practices enhance protection and privacy.

Yes. Apps like Malwarebytes, Avast Mobile Security, and Norton can detect spy activity and apps running in the background. They also monitor unusual data use and app permissions.

Go to Settings > Linked Devices to see if unknown sessions are active on WhatsApp Web. Security apps can also alert you when new access occurs.

Yes — if combined with good security practices like app locking, data encryption, and limiting device access. WhatsApp alone isn’t enough, but it’s safe when used wisely.

Yes, especially if you don’t use two-step verification, share your app with others, or leave sessions open on shared devices. These actions increase the risk of data leaks.

Top recommendations include:

  • Norton Mobile Security: full protection

  • Avast Mobile Security: detects spyware

  • AppLock: adds password to WhatsApp

  • Malwarebytes: excellent at removing hidden spyware

Free versions offer basic protection, but paid plans (like Malwarebytes Premium or Avast Ultimate) provide real-time scanning, tracking, and remote blocking — which are worth the investment.

Apps like Malwarebytes and Avast scan for hidden spyware, abnormal battery drain, and suspicious app behavior. They notify you of anything unusual.

AppLock is a great tool for this. It protects WhatsApp with a PIN, password, or fingerprint — easy to set up and very effective.
