Password protect ya phones y'all and don't share em.

If you need to password protect your phone, get out of the relationship.

Unless you have kids. My kid bought a $200 Mickey Mouse Amazon Fire after she swiped my phone last year. Since then passwords on all devices.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Exactly. Get out of that relationship.

And that's also why you don't save credit card info on sites or PayPal/bank passwords.

It's not my family i am worried about getting into my phone

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I would but the government won't let me break up with it.

So there is no privacy in your relationships? If you can’t trust, get out of the relationship.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

There's plenty of privacy. It's called respect. We don't go into each other's stuff because we don't need to. And if we need to, then it's ok.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think it's different to have privacy and need to have password protection to get privacy. Preferably you'd respect each other's privacy enough not to need password protection.

Still should have it, it's just sensible data safety. Someone might steal it and shit

I don't lock my phone to keep my SO off it.

I lock my phone to keep everyone off it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I do too. My wife has my password because I need her to do stuff for me sometimes

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Wife doesn’t trust you? Just lock your phone. Problem solved.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

do you people not have notifications on the lockscreen? fuck having to open the phone to see what's going on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No? I might have tweaked mine but have no memory of it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's a fairly common feature. Message comes in, lights up the screen, you can see which app the notification is from, who sent the message and what they wrote. Usually there's privacy options to hide the message content or even the sender.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Mine doesn't need to be opened, but it does need to be unlocked.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Might've just seen them light up the screen. I'm constantly seeing the messages my wife gets because they light up her screen and the automatic reaction (at least from me) before realizing is to glance at the screen.

Though from options you can hide the sender and content and even disable the screen from lighting up.
