Six tech red flags that your partner is about to cheat — or is having an affair already

A radio show host who focuses on consumer technology news and security revealed how you can use your partner’s phone to determine if they’re cheating on you.
Kim Komando shared that how a person handles their phone and what they have on it can tell you more than they may wish to divulge.
“Many people turn their phones away from others to protect their privacy, but most don’t hide their phones from their spouses. The same goes for shuffling browser tabs or switching off a tablet,” Komando warned.
“Notifications can also reveal cheaters, so it’s common to switch them off or hide them if you’re doing something you don’t want your significant other to see.”
Having fake apps
“Unless your partner is brazen, you won’t see a chat app on their home screen or steamy messages sitting in their text message folder,” Komando said.
She explained that there are apps for sharing messages, photos and videos that appear to be something else — such as Calculator Pro+ — that cheaters may use to hide their inappropriate exchanges.
Those who are doing things they shouldn’t also are likely to try to remove all evidence of their tasteless behavior by clearing their history often.
“If they routinely access dating sites, secret email accounts or anything, they will probably think to cover their tracks,” Komando said.
Online trash is always full
While cheaters may try to cover up their tracks, they may forget to delete their virtual trash or use it as a place to hide things.
“Deleted digital items are typically never gone for good. A computer’s trash or recycle bin retains items until the bin is emptied. Some cloud services let you restore items from the trash,” Komando explained.
The tech expert also cautioned that always being busy with work could be a cover-up for something more scandalous. She said that some cheaters have been found to use fake work documents to hide information and communications they don’t want to be caught with.
“When the file is opened, the first page appears to be a bunch of corporate speak,” Komando said.
“But scrolling down reveals the file’s real purpose. Online documents are a covert way to share notes, photos, and videos with someone else.”
Constantly visiting the same spot
Komando also suggested that you check your partner’s location history to see if there’s one spot that they frequent often that seems suspicious.
She explained that most phones record previous destinations or significant locations marking places where the device is often found.
If you’re wondering where your significant other is spending so much time, check.
