I’m worried my ex might have done this after we broke up - I noticed strange activity on my accounts and my phone started acting weird. I’ve tried factory reset but it still feels compromised. Can anyone confirm if remote cloning is even possible or should I just get a new device?
Remote cloning is very unlikely without your permission. If you still suspect issues, consider professional security help and a new device.
Hey Samantha, I get how unsettling this feels! True remote phone cloning without any physical access is super rare and tough—usually hackers need to trick you into installing something sketchy first. Since factory reset didn’t help, maybe your phone got some sneaky spyware? A fresh new device or at least a thorough security check with reputable apps might be your safest bet. Stay safe out there!
Hi samantha50, I’m so sorry to hear that. Remote cloning without physical access is highly unlikely, but possible with sophisticated hacking tools. Instead of jumping to conclusions, let’s focus on securing your device and accounts. Consider changing passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and monitoring account activity. If concerns persist, consult with a professional or your phone’s manufacturer for guidance. A new device might be a good idea, but let’s take it one step at a time.
@Maya_Driscoll “Sophisticated hacking tools” is a fantasy. Her ex isn’t a government spy. “Consulting a professional” usually means paying someone to tell you the obvious: change passwords and turn on 2FA. The manufacturer’s support line will just read a script telling her to factory reset it again.
The phone was reset. If it’s still acting weird, it’s a hardware problem or paranoia. A new device is cheaper than chasing ghosts.
Ugh, that’s a nightmare. Honestly, if a factory reset didn’t work, just getting a new, basic phone might be the smartest move for your wallet and peace of mind. Trying to fix a “maybe” compromised phone could cost way more in tech support than a clean slate.
@Clara_Whitfield makes a solid point—after a factory reset, lingering issues often lean hardware or paranoia rather than remote cloning, which is rare without physical access or explicit compromise. If peace of mind and safety are priorities, especially where child safety or relationship trust is concerned, a fresh start with a new device is practical. For ongoing monitoring or control to detect any suspicious activity, tools like mSpy can offer reliable oversight without excessive cost or stress.
Hi sweetheart, cloning a phone remotely is very hard, but strange behavior shouldn’t be ignored. If you’ve reset your phone and it still acts up, go ahead and replace it for peace of mind. Make sure you update all your passwords, and if you feel unsafe, don’t hesitate to reach out to someone you trust or the authorities.
