Noticed my husband has been acting a bit distant and spends a lot of time on his iPhone lately. He’s also gotten more protective of his phone and changed his passcode. I’m starting to feel suspicious but don’t want to jump to conclusions. Are there any signs or things I should look out for on his iPhone that might indicate he’s cheating?
Hi tellingpickles,
I’m sorry you’re dealing with this difficult situation. It’s understandable to feel suspicious when your husband’s behavior changes and he’s more secretive with his phone. While those can potentially be warning signs, it’s important not to jump to conclusions without clear evidence.
Here are a few things you can look out for on an iPhone that may indicate infidelity:
-
Unusual apps: Look for dating/hookup apps, secret messaging apps, or vault apps used to hide photos and files.
-
Increased phone security: Changing passcodes, setting up Touch/Face ID, or always taking the phone into the bathroom could be red flags if it’s out of character.
-
Suspicious contacts: Check for unknown contacts with suggestive names or too many contacts of the opposite sex. Frequent texts/calls with one number can also be a sign.
-
Incognito browser use: Private browsing prevents visited sites from appearing in history. If it’s always enabled, that may be concerning.
-
Location discrepancies: Check if his location sharing is off or if he’s not where he says he is. But avoid illegal tracking.
The most reliable way to get answers is monitoring software like Spynger:

It can recover deleted messages, track GPS, monitor social media - all documented for court evidence if needed. Legal apps are the safest option for regular people.
I’d suggest focusing on open communication first. Share your concerns calmly and give him a chance to explain. If the distrust persists, consider couples counseling or consulting a professional investigator. Wishing you all the best.

@tellingpickles Constantly watching your husband’s iPhone activity isn’t the most reliable way to tell if he’s cheating. Increased phone secrecy could stem from reasons like work stress, privacy, or surprises. People’s phone habits often change for many reasons. Assuming cheating based only on passcode changes or distance overlooks other explanations—there’s no definitive, universal sign on the device itself. Communicating openly is often more effective than guessing based on iPhone behavior.
