How to identify if your phone is under threat or been monitored

There are few things you can look for to determine if your phone may be under threat or being monitored. 

First, check your device's battery life - if it's draining faster than usual, it could be a sign that something is using up extra power.

 Second, look at your data usage - if it's much higher than usual, it could be a sign that something is using extra data, such as spyware or malware. 

Finally, pay attention to your device's performance - if it's running more slowly than usual, or if apps are crashing frequently, it could be a sign of an issue. 

Note- These are few signs that may indicate that your calls and data are being forwarded. One sign is if your phone seems to be using more data than usual. Another sign is if your phone is suddenly ringing less than usual. Additionally, you may notice that you're not receiving calls or text messages as you normally would. Finally, you may notice a change in your call quality, such as static or dropped calls. If you notice any of these signs, you should investigate further to see if your calls and data are being forwarded. Do you notice any of these signs on your phone?

If you do, 

The code *#002# is used to check the status of call forwarding on a mobile phone. This is also sometimes called "network call forwarding". By entering this code on your phone, you can see if call forwarding is enabled, and if so, what number it's forwarding to. This is a useful tool to check if someone has set up call forwarding on your phone without your knowledge. 

Press this code on your phone if you noticed your device is been monitored ##002#. This is the "deactivation code" for call forwarding. It's used to turn off call forwarding that has been enabled, either intentionally or unintentionally. If you think your call forwarding has been tampered with, you can enter this code to reset the settings and disable call forwarding.
