How do I unlink my iPhone from my husband's?

To unsync your iPhone from your husband's device, you need to sign out of shared services like iCloud and iMessage/FaceTime on your phone and potentially remove it from his Apple ID device list, focusing on stopping data sync for photos, contacts, messages, and calls by turning off iCloud settings and phone features like "Calls on Other Devices". The most effective method involves creating separate Apple IDs for each of you, but you can stop syncing by managing your iCloud settings and signing out of shared apps. 

How can my wife see my text messages on my iPhone?

Your wife might see your iPhone texts if she has your Apple ID & password, if text forwarding is set up, if your messages sync through a shared Apple ID on another device (iPad, Mac), or if monitoring software/carrier features are active, but generally, iMessages are secure unless these settings are intentionally or accidentally shared, often stemming from using the same Apple ID for services like iMessage and iCloud.
 

When you delete your browsing history, is it gone forever?

No, deleting your search history isn't always gone forever; it's removed from immediate view and your account, but some data lingers in backups and may be kept for legal reasons or business needs, while forensic recovery is possible on old drives, though complex. You must actively clear it from your main account (like Google's My Activity) for thorough removal, not just your browser, and even then, Google keeps anonymized records and some account-level data, say Quora users and Reddit users. 

What is considered invasion of privacy in a marriage?

How do I know if my phone is linked to another device?

To check if your phone is linked to another device, look for unfamiliar entries in your Google Account (myaccount.google.com/devices) or Apple ID (iCloud settings), check your Bluetooth settings for unknown paired devices, review installed apps, and monitor for unusual behavior like fast battery drain or high data usage, as these can signal unauthorized connections. 

Will *#21 tell me if my phone is tapped?

No, dialing *#21# doesn't directly tell you if your phone is "tapped" by hackers or the government, but it does reveal if your calls and messages are being unconditionally forwarded to another number, a common tactic for surveillance or interception. This popular internet trend, especially on TikTok, is a myth that it's a secret FBI code; it's just a standard carrier code for checking call forwarding status, not security breaches. 

How to tell if your partner is hiding stuff on their phone?

A more direct approach involves open communication, but technologically, look for hidden app pages on iPhone/Android or unusual battery usage.

Should I cover my phone's camera?

You should consider covering your phone camera as a security precaution against hackers who could exploit vulnerabilities to spy on you, but it's a trade-off with convenience, as covers can obstruct use and don't stop microphone or GPS tracking, so it's best combined with strong app permissions, good digital hygiene (avoiding suspicious links), and considering cases with built-in sliders for a balance of security and functionality.
 

Can someone see your search history even if you delete it?

Yes, someone can still see your search history even if you delete it from your browser because your Internet Service Provider (ISP), Google/other search engines, and websites often log your activity separately, and data can linger on their servers or be accessed through other means like keyloggers or network monitoring, especially on shared networks. Deleting your history only removes it from your device; it doesn't erase copies held by third parties or on their servers, notes NordVPN and Startpage.com Blog. 

How do you permanently erase data so that it cannot be recovered?

To ensure deleted files are unrecoverable, you must overwrite the data using file shredding software (like Eraser or BleachBit) or built-in tools (Cipher /w on Windows for free space), which physically overwrite the sectors where the file once resided with random data, making it nearly impossible to restore; for ultimate security, especially with SSDs, physical destruction or cryptographic erasure (full disk encryption + key deletion) is best. 

Is private browsing history actually private?

Incognito or private mode will keep your local browsing private, but it won't stop your ISP, school, or employer from seeing where you've been online.
