With technology getting into advanced business, safeguarding privacy has become much tougher. Most of the time, someone might be spying on messages, calls, and even the location of an iPhone without our knowledge. But what if I told you there is a very simple way to know if your iPhone is compromised using a secret iPhone code?
Secret Code: *#21#
Simply dial *#21# on the iPhone dialer and hit the call button. This code checks to see whether anyone has forwarded calls, messages, or data on your Apple tablet.
What Should Show If Someone Is Spying on Your Messages on an Apple iPhone?
If someone were to be forwarding your messages or calls, it would say next to `Voice`, `Data`, `SMS`, `Packet`, etc. "Forwarded" or "Enabled". If none has been forwarded, it will just say "Not Forwarded".
The checks for any calls or any of the messages sent from your number to an unknown number. Hackers can travel from their ground once embedded through spy applications.
Preventive Measures
Settings -> Phone -> Check Call Forwarding: Calls Forwarding, if any, to some number.
Settings ->Check if your Messages are being forwarded to some other device. Messages-Text Message Forwarding.
The password for Apple ID should be frequently changed, which should also have Two-Factor Authentication enabled.
Immediately remove any unknown apps or revoke any profiles that you see have been installed.
Keep Safe; Be Alert
The current-day technology, by itself own has eased and embellished living; in case one is inept in handling it properly, one may just lose one's privacy owing to it. Thus, such iPhone Secret Codes are essential to know and apply. In case there is suspicion about illegal monitoring, one should run the check via this code immediately and act if needed.
