1. Sudden high temperature of the battery

Normally, when a phone is hacked, the hacker will start running some background apps to transfer all the data to their secret storage system. This will cause your phone to suddenly heat up, even though you haven’t used any heavy apps or charging the device.

2. Phone battery drains faster than usual

Continuous background app running also leads to accelerated battery life degradation, resulting in faster than normal usage decreases. To check the maximum battery capacity and compare it with the previous period, you can do the following:

With genuine iPhone: You can open “Settings”, select “Battery”, and then select “Battery Health & Charging” and check the information in the “Maximum Capacity” section.

With Android phones: You open “Settings”, click on “Battery and performance”, then check the information in the “Battery usage” section (Battery saving).

3. Noise coming from the smartphone

You often hear strange noises coming from your own device (such as echo, crackling noise, buzzing noise…). This could be a warning sign that your phone has been hacked. Hackers have installed eavesdropping software that interferes with sound transmission.

4. Pop-up windows or changes on the phone screen

If your phone displays some abnormal signs such as: Displaying some windows or strange apps; changing the location of apps on the home screen; having strange appointments or reminders in the calendar. If so, this is one of the signs that your phone has been “attacked”.

5. Appearance of unidentified apps

The appearance of apps with unknown sources, running in the background, is a sign that your phone has been hacked. They often do not appear in the form of icon logos on the home screen like regular apps, but only as attached links with certain apps, making it difficult for users to recognize. You can check if your mobile is running strange apps by:

iPhone: You can directly scroll to find strange apps on the home screen or in the app library.

Android phones: You open “Settings” and select “Apps”, then select “App management” and check.

6. Detection of strange messages, calls in the log

Suddenly, your phone sends messages or makes (or receives) calls without clear identity,… then there is a high possibility that your phone has been illegally accessed.

Above are 6 signs that can help you identify whether your phone has been hacked or not. Refer to the article to avoid situations that affect the security of information on your device.
