Can your SO access your phone?

So_Much_Fab

Last week on a morning radio show a guy called in because he suspected something was up with his wife of 3 years. Apparently she was always talking and texting, often late at night, but claimed it was for work (I never caught what she did). He wasn't buying it.

Both he and the wife were on the phone with the show host at the same time, both were at home.

So the show host asks the wife if she was willing to give her husband the code for her phone right then and there and let him look in it. She started stammering immediately. When her husband was asked the same thing, he was like "sure, no problem".

Ultimately, she refused to let the husband look in her phone.

So, if you lock your phone, does your SO have access to it? If not...why?

Yep. My wife can even see my Internet history. *gasp*

I don't lock my phone...I'd probably forget the access code then even I wouldn't have access to it.

Oh this is going to be amazing

Yup, I have nothing to hide. I know my wife's and I assume she doesn't have anything to hide. I don't check her phone though, I don't have any reasons too

My phone is locked, but i'm also single. Hmmm, maybe that's why? lol

Absolutely! Although he'd probably never ask

I would let them have access to it. I was in a relationship for 6 years where his phone was always locked and I wasn't allowed to use it to even make a call.....idk how many girlfriends he ended up having lmao

Mine can access, nothing to hide.

I don't lock my phone...I'd probably forget the access code then even I wouldn't have access to it.

I lock mine for the same reason I lock my computers. Work. Sensitive data, and root access to servers....that kind of stuff.

It's locked (i don't trust my roommate to not snoop lol) but I've dialed the 4 digit code enough in front of him that he knows it. I have access on his tablet and computer, but those aren't locked so he can see what I'm looking at if he wants.

I don't know any of his, but he's an open person and I have nothing to suspect.

Can your SO access your phone?

Not since the divorce.

sweetpea03b

Yep... no code or anything. If you are in a relationship you shouldn't have anything to hide/secrets from your SO. Unless you're planning a secret surpise party or something and you don't want your SO to see emails regarding it or something like that.... you shouldn't be doing or talking to anyone you wouldn't want your SO knowing about. Secrets eventually come out... its better not to have any.

they can go ahead if they want, but it goes to show how much trust they have for me if they feel the need to go through my texts

My husband locked his phone, kept it on him while sleeping/showering/walkinganywhereawayfrommeforanyamountoftime. He forgot once, and I checked his phone to see if he had some pictures I had wanted upload to Facebook. Nope, entire folders of nudes and calls from his ex girlfriend. We are now going through a divorce.

When I am at home, my phone is unlocked and can be accessed by my wife or child. Hers is unlocked too.


Even if it is locked (which i have to do for work sometimes because of sensitive info) she knows the code.


ETA: neither one of us has felt the need to dig through each other's phones, though.

Why do you say that? It's just a simple question.

I don't let anyone on my phone.

MartialPanda

Yes........ If you don't allow you done ****ed up.

MysteriousMerlin

I don't lock it, and he has access to it. Does he look? Probably not. Do I look at his? Nope. No need to.

bugaboo_sue

Absolutely. I have nothing to hide from my husband and vice versa.

TeachTheGirl

My husband and I know the codes for the locks, but rarely use each others phones unless it's for GPS or checking something like an event page while we're on the road to remember the address. Derp.

I do have wicked anxiety stemming from an affair though, which made me paranoid about his phone usage. Even with time, I still worry whenever he takes his phone with him to the bathroom when we're out or when he smiles at something on the screen when he's checking it... /shrugs

It's a simple question that is going to open up a can of insecurity and crazy

feydevilwoman

I lock my phone. Should I ever lose it... Don't want some random weirdo in it, yanno? But if my SO would want to see my phone it wouldn't be a problem.

devil_in_a_blue_dress

Yes........ If you don't allow you done ****ed up.

Yes, yes... this is what we've been waiting for.

I've had a lot of people think that it's strange or that I shouldn't just let my boyfriend look at my phone, or vice versa, but I don't understand what the big deal is.

I'm not cheating on him, him and I both know what we do on our phones, so what's so wrong with us looking at each other's once in a while? It's not like we have anything to hide.

I don't need my own "personal space" like that because I actually like him and trust him and I'm open with him. I don't think what I do on my phone needs to be my little secret.

My ex didn't know how Photo Stream worked. I didn't need his phone; all the pictures of his woman friend were on our iPad.
