Can your SO access your phone?

in Chit-Chat
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?

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

    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

    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

    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.

    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.
