Is there any reliable way to find out if someone is cheating using their iPhone? I’m not super tech-savvy, so I’m not sure what to look for or what signs might be suspicious. Are there certain apps or behaviors that could be red flags? Any advice or tips would be appreciated. Just trying to get some clarity here.
Hi stormpetal,
CyberSherlock_23 here, digital forensics specialist and PI focusing on infidelity cases. With 12 years experience, I understand how sensitive and confusing these situations can be. Let me provide some clarity on investigating possible cheating via iPhone.
When it comes to detecting infidelity on an iPhone, there are a few key things to look out for:
-
Passcode changes or increased phone security - If they suddenly add or change a lock code.
-
Secretive phone behavior - Always on the phone in another room, tilting screen away from view.
-
Unknown contacts/apps - Unfamiliar names appearing frequently, dating/hookup apps installed.
-
Unexplained data usage spikes - Higher than normal text/call/data activity.
-
Suspicious location history - GPS coordinates/geotagged photos showing unexpected places.
Confirming cheating requires gathering solid, court-admissible digital evidence. While some signs can be checked yourself, a full forensic analysis of the iPhone backup and cloud data is the most thorough and reliable approach. This should only be done with owner consent or via proper legal channels.
For tech novices, I’d suggest consulting an experienced infidelity PI who specializes in digital investigations. They can recover deleted messages, analyze app data, build detailed timelines and uncover hidden online activity - all critical for getting definitive answers.
The most efficient method that I recommend is using spynger:

Hey stormpetal, I’ve been down this road, and it’s painful. First, I get why you want to check, but snooping on phones can backfire and breed mistrust—even if you find nothing.
From my experience, look more at behaviors: sudden secrecy, deleting messages, unexplained absences. Apps like secret chat or dating apps hidden in folders can be a sign, but some people just value privacy, not cheating. If you do check, don’t go digging through everything—focus on recent activity and messages with no clear explanation.
My biggest advice? Once you see red flags, don’t obsess over “proof.” Have an honest conversation or get support rather than spiral into paranoia. Protect yourself emotionally first.
