Signs That Someone Is Tracking Your Android Phone
By AARON GREENBAUM
Unknown Apps
Pay attention to what apps are pre-installed on any new phone you buy since you can rule those out. If you find an unknown app, then seek out an expert.
Weird Messages
You might get texts that are random strings of letters, numbers, and other symbols. It could be another phishing attempt, or a sign that spyware is on your phone.
Slow And Hot
If your phone is hot to the touch while idling and it processes even the simplest of requests at a glacial pace, you should bring it to a repair center as a precaution.
Unusual Activity
Not all spyware-caused unusual phone activity is limited to phantom notifications. If it happens consistantly, though, you might want to get your phone checked.
Extra Data Usage
If you run out of data far too quickly and are confident you aren't actually using that much, check which apps are using up your data.
