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....
