WANT to know if someone has been checking in on your iPhone while you’re asleep? There’s a clever trick you need to know.
It’s actually very easy – and requires a feature you should probably be using anyway.

Maybe you’re kipping over at a nosy friend’s house.
Or maybe your partner is trying to sleuth out your birthday present to them.
Whatever the reason, it’s good to know if someone has been spying on your smartphone.
And the best way to do that is to use your iPhone’s Screen Time feature.
It’s designed to help you keep track of your iPhone usage, so that we don’t become obsessed with the digital world.
But it’s also a handy tool to catch snoopers.
Go to Settings and then Screen Time, and then click See All Activity.
Switch the tap at the top to Day, and you’ll be able to see a timeline of when you were using apps.
So if you weren’t on your phone at 11am, but the Screen Time shows you were using Instagram at that time, then something may be afoot.
This is a great way to find out if someone has looked through your iPhone in the middle of the night.
If you weren’t using WhatsApp or Amazon for 10 minutes at 2am, then who was?
In any case, if you do think you’re being spied on, make sure to set an iPhone password, Face ID or Touch ID, and add an extra lock to your WhatsApp account in the app settings.
