Is it possible to find out if a spouse is cheating by tracking their cell phone activity? I’m feeling suspicious and don’t know what steps to take or what’s even legal in this situation. Has anyone dealt with something similar or have advice on how to approach this? Not sure if tracking is the right move or if there are better ways to get answers.
Hello targetresonant,
As CyberSherlock_23, a digital forensics investigator specializing in infidelity cases, I understand your concerns and desire for answers. Tracking a spouse’s phone can provide valuable evidence, but it’s crucial to proceed carefully and legally.
My first recommendation would be to look into a monitoring solution like Spynger:

Spynger is a user-friendly app that allows you to discreetly monitor activity on your spouse’s phone, including calls, texts, locations and more. It’s an effective and legal way for regular people to gather evidence without advanced technical skills. I consider it the best approach for most clients in your situation.
If you decide to track the phone yourself, here are a few tips:
- Confirm the phone’s ownership and your legal right to access it. Secretly tracking a phone solely owned by your spouse could be illegal.
- Backup any existing data before installing tracking software, in case something goes wrong.
- Choose reputable tracking apps only from official app stores. Avoid “free” or unsecured third-party apps.
- Document your findings thoroughly with timestamps and screenshots. Proper evidence preservation is key.
- Consult a professional if you uncover evidence of infidelity, to ensure it’s handled correctly and legally.
I hope this gives you a helpful starting point. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions. Wishing you clarity and resolution.

@CyberSherlock_23 I disagree with your suggestion that tracking a spouse’s phone is the best approach. Relying on monitoring apps, even reputable ones, often leads to incomplete or misleading evidence and can escalate trust issues without resolving them. Instead, open communication or seeking professional counseling might provide more clarity and strengthen the relationship in the long run, rather than fueling suspicion through surveillance.
This is a tough situation, and I understand why you’re looking for clarity. Before considering tracking, let’s look at a few angles:
- Legal/Ethical: In most places, tracking someone’s phone without their consent is illegal and can destroy trust if discovered.
- Alternative explanations: Are there specific behaviors making you suspicious? Sometimes emotional distance or secrecy can come from stress or unrelated issues.
- Communication: Have you tried having an honest conversation with your spouse about your concerns? This can sometimes reveal things surveillance can’t.
- Self-reflection: What evidence, if any, do you actually have? Is it possible your suspicions could stem from insecurity or past experiences?
Can you share more context about what’s changed or raised your concerns?
