I was reading this article and I am horrified that someone can just install an app on my phone and basically clone it to spy on me.

ofc they can.. A smart phone is a programble device.. If you load a program on to listen to conversations then you will be able to listen to conversations..
Just the same as if i install a key logger on your computer i can record the keystrokes..

Best thing is to have passwords set to enter the phone and a separate one to enter the setting menu. Further have you anti virus up to date and do not give your phone to someone you do not trust....

Do you know what always gets me when installing apps? Its the kind of information the apps want, for example, Phone Identity, contacts, owner name and phone number. This used to bother me so much that I remove any app that wants access to such information. I just don't get why a free app would require such information

Good point and I know there is a lesson to be learned in there somewhere.


Thanks for the reply.

I use it and it works well.

I am sure anything more sophisticated would hide from it.

Its not really a big deal, they call it "spy bubble" but it isnt. You still have to install it on the phone.
