Who can look at your cell phone???

I don't really have anything to hide but if the phone got stolen the person taking it would not be able to use it because it is locked. I conduct a good bit of business on my phone but I don't have anything on it that would be viewed as juicy. i am pretty bland0

Anyone can look at mine. No screen lock or anything. I'm too fat to take nudies anyways.0

Wife and kiddo's are always grabbing my phone for something I don't care. I do have a password protected photo vault for naughty texting material though lol.0

Only me and my parents, as I am on their cell plan.
Ive yelled at friends who look at it.0 -
My cell phone sometimes gets used by me and my fiance when he has no minutes between paydays. I don't care if he uses it or looks in it or even goes through my text. I trust him he trust me.0

I do the same as well. If you need to use my phone ask first but don't pick it up going thru my messages thats plain rude.0 -
My husband can look at my phone, and I can look at his. I've never felt the need to go through it, but if I wanted to, it wouldn't be a problem. He's never asked to go through mine, but I wouldn't have any problem with it.0

I have a 17,16,14 they all 3 know I can look at there phone anytime I want. AND I DO. My phone and my wifes phone is just that our own. But we leave them laying around the house so it isn't like we are hiding anything.0

That night she passed out and left her phone unlocked was the beginning of the end for my marriage. .0

For my hubby and I, phones aren't really a big deal. He can look all he wants and vice versa. The kids, well that's another story. There are things on there they have no business with. I do let them play games on it but under my watchful eye. As far as my teen goes, I will look at his phone whenever I feel the need. As of right now he's grounded and without it so it's non issue.0

I downloaded the " fake a text" app for my Iphone it's great.. you can type a text add any name you want the text to show up as and set a timer for when you want the text to show on your phone. I sent a text to my phone from a very attractive lady that I have teased my gal about saying if you ever leave me I'm going for that. (we have a very trusting and joking relationship) So the text said "If your not happy with her I'd like to take a shot" and so when my woman picks up my phone that I left on my console of my truck while strategically pumping gas she gives me the "i'm gonna F you up look" after she realized it was a joke she made sure I knew she was the woman for me

My cell phone is private. Although it doesn't matter if people look at it. I don't text anyone so the only messages in the text messaging history are system messages from Verizon, and I don't generally add people to my contacts because I have no problem with remembering phone numbers. In any case, though, I like to keep certain things private. I need to know that my privacy is being respected in order to feel that I am being respected. Maybe I'm being funny about it, but unless I give someone a legitimate reason to doubt their trust in me I would expect them to respect my privacy. To go looking through private things makes me feel disrespected and violated.0

I don't like anyone taking my phone. I feel like it's extremely disrespectful and my family always valued privacy. My parents knocked and asked permission before they came in my room, and I NEVER went in theirs unless they asked me too. I didn't like my friends going in my room either. I feel like it's my personal space. That goes for my phone; it's something personal of mine.
I'm not hiding anything. I don't let my husband just take my phone; I'll get really pissed off. Same goes for my friends and family.0 -

Hubby and I have each others' iPhone passcodes and occasionally we trade phones (like if my battery is about dead and his is full, etc). We also share the same passwords for our email, facebook, MFP, and other social sites. I don't snoop on him, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't snoop on me (I wouldn't care if he did).
It's just that we are best friends. After 13 years and six kids together, there just isn't much we don't share. Some people might not be comfortable with that sort of intimacy, but it works well for us.0 -
My phone is personal. I dont want anyone looking at it ever, even though I dont have anything to hide. (I dont have a lock on my phone). It belongs to me just like my car and I dont let anyone else drive my car without asking permission.
Its like my mail , let me open it please. I dont want anyone opening my e mails either. Are you trying to deprive me of these little pleasures in my life? If so why?
Only a control freak or a suspicious jealous person needs to look at another persons personal e mails or phone or open their mail. Leave my stuff alone! I dont feel the need to share everything I have with someone else.

I have nothing to hide, but I want to be ME. I have always believed 'when you give up your privacy, you are no longer an individual'. I grew up pretty much raising myself, so yes, I kind of live in my own little world. I am VERY independent.
Like another poster said, "if you want to play a game on my phone, I will open the app for you, if you want to see a pic, I will find the pic, and show it to you, if you need to make a call, I will bring up the keypad for you" other than that, keep your grubby mitts off my stuff.
I have a lot of respect for people in general (for the most part), I have no need to look thru their phone/purse/car/wallet unless they ask me to get them something from said object.0 -
My cell is also my work phone and it is extremely protected. Its quite annoying to be honest - but its a requirement. My main screen does allow for phone calls out, so should I ever drop it or something happens to me - the person can eassily see the last person(s) dialed. My hubby does not have access (I'd be in big big trouble if he had the password) - not anything to hide in there and he can look if/when its unlocked. Its just rarely unlocked unless i'm working.
My iPod on the other hand is also PW protected as I have a lot of stuff on it. Hubby has the passcode and can look at it whenever. Nothing to hide and we respect each others privacy. I don't touch his phone and he doesn't need to look through mine.0 -
I would absolutely flip my **** if my husband got on my cell phone and went snooping around. Maybe not so much in incoming outgoing calls and things like that, but my texts are MY private conversations. Me and my sister talk **** about people, then I talk **** about my one sister to my other sister that I was just talking **** about her. Lol, so, I'm not going to say I don't have anything to hide, cuz I do!! Not like relationship ending things, but private personal conversations that are not for anyone else's eyes but mine and the recipient!!!0

Mine is an old flip phone, nothing special. Lost it recently at Disney and it was mailed back to me. There is no telling who looked at it. I did check to make sure it wasn't used to call overseas...0

He calls me nosey because I tell him what the messages on his phone say but if I don't, he'll leave them sit there for weeks and never read them... and then people will call me and ask if he got their message so I just find it easier that way.
No one else is allowed in my phone. No one. If you need to see something in there, I'll show you. If you want to use an app, I'll open it for you. That's how it works.
Seems a bit one sided. I would certainly call you nosy too and sorry but your excuse for reading his stuff is lame.
My friends and I have another friend with a wife like you and we never send him stuff because she reads everything we send, or used to send until we found out what she was doing. He misses out on a lot.0 -
I can grab my husbands at any time and he can grab mine too. Never been an issue for either of us. If I want to send a text and his phone is closer he'll toss it to me.
Both my kids, 17 and 23 are open with their phones. I have even asked my younger son if I could read a text that caught my attention a couple times. No resistance. Of course reading one led to reading a whole slew of them. Still not an issue. I did ask permission, but I'm sure he knew not to say no.
You find out things about their friends, that's for sure. But the times this has happened it opened the lines of communication. I never found anything really bad. But it led to conversations about condoms and birth control, though we already had them many times.
I told my kids from the beginning that their phones (I pay for them) and the computer are not to be used for anything they would not want me to see. If you want it kept private you better say it in person around here. It worked in our house.0 -
Children: Give them trust at first. If you have suspicions they are misusing it, then I think it's okay to say, "Do you mind if I look at your phone?" and then look through it.
Spouses: That's a little "OMG we're best friends and we look at each other's phone all the time!!! We love each other!" Don't go through your spouse's phone. That's just dumb.0 -
A cell phone is a probation officer's best friend. We look at them and the probationer's entire world is on there.
But if I went to look at my own kid's phone all heck would break loose. I realize that's a parenting issue and believe me it has been addressed.
My wife and I leave ours out in the open. Anyone can look at it anytime they want because we have nothing to hide.
Is that the case with anyone else? Can your SO look at your phone? Or is it hands off? How about your children...can you look at theirs?
I don't have secrets on my cell phone. If anybody found mine and took a look, they'd probably be bored.0 -
Anyone can look at my cell phone. I believe a cell phone is like the internet- if you dont want the world to see it or read it then you shouldnt have it on there. My son likes to play games on it and I often need my daughter to tweek something for me so there is nothing on there that cant be seen by a child. If my husband and I text adult conversation to each other we are sure to delete them when we are done. On the flip side my daughter would never let me look at her phone.0

My iphone is password protected. I have a few games I play that I let my nephew run wild with. Nothing to hide on my end. I do believe my cell phone is like my purse...you go in it..you better have a good reason.0

i dont like people looking through my phone unless i want to show them something... some of the text messages i get are people telling me things in confidence, or im telling them something i dont want other people to know. But if someone needs to make a call or something I let them use it i just try to make sure they dont start opening and reading things.
but at the same time, i think if you have a kid who has a phone, you should look if given a reason. but to always check i think is a bit too much. Kids shouldn't have phones anyway... i wasn't allowed my own phone until i was 17.0 -
I don't care who looks at my phone.. my boyfriend, my family, friends, co-workers, strangers.. I really don't care. If there is something I don't want anyone else to see.. like a text message with a friend, I delete it after the conversation is over.. That rarely happens but I don't keep anything that I don't care sharing with people on my phone. I never understood why people are so touchy over it, unless they are hiding something.
But, when I was a teenager (got my first phone at 16 and I paid the bill) I would've hated if my parents went through my phone. Just because I was a teenager and I hated if my mom was in my room for to long. I wasn't even a bad kid and never really hid anything I just thought it was awkward. I now realize that was an insane way of thinking, but, I think as a teenager you feel like you are owed respect, when most of the time you never give it.0 -
I used to think I was hugely obsessive compulsive, paranoid and untrusting ... and then I read this thread.
Phew, I feel a lot better about myself now
That is to say, I don't think anyone has any business looking at my phone, but I'm not on guard 24-7, and looking at my phone will not automatically garner you a blacklisting.0 -
If anyone decides to go through to my phone and finds sexts messages or nudie pics between me and the husband, well then that's their fault. It's my phone...
Don't go snooping if you're not prepared for what you find. ;0)0 -
Everyone in our family is welcome to look at my phone. That being said, about a year ago I found a cell phone in a parking lot. I wanted to return it to the owner so started calling numbers that looked likely in the call log. Got a woman at the number titled "Home" who didn't recognize the number I called from. I looked in the phone some more and started poking through the text messages. Found some very, um, PERSONAL texts. Okay, figured the woman had to be the wife or significant other. Texted her and told her I had the phone. She told me it was her boyfriend's. I arranged to go meet him at the pharmacy where he worked. Turned out he was the pharmacist. He was also married. The woman I'd called first (the "Home" number) was his wife. The woman I texted was his girlfriend. That was a very awkward meeting. :blushing:
If you mess around, password protect your darn phone!0
