We at home often discuss non-obvious situations. This time I asked the guys to decide what to do if the girl gets into the phone. Just imagine: go home, and the girl is already standing, holding your phone in her hands. What happened next? My colleagues fell silent and lost in thought. The situation is really difficult: let’s say that you have nothing to hide, but the other halves often perceive information through the prism of emotions, without trying to figure out what’s what. Scary, very scary: but if you failed to explain to the girl that she has nothing to do with your smartphone, then it is definitely worth protecting against intrusion. Let’s figure out thoroughly how to act in such a difficult situation and what measures to take.
The girl got into the phone – a situation that is unpleasant for every man. What to do?

Fingerprint scanner in the phone
Let’s start with basic things. You must have fingerprint or face unlock enabled on your smartphone. Do not even try to prove that you do not need it, you trust your soul mate. Protection on a smartphone is a must-have against any unpleasant situations.
Nothing is better than a fingerprint on your phone and apps
Without a fingerprint, no one will break into your device for sure, or read work and personal chats. In general, it makes life easier. And it’s not about trust, it’s about security. In addition, the entrance to Telegram and WhatsApp is possible by fingerprint, which will also play into your hands.
Set a password on a smartphone
The password on the phone is to be! Do not disable it in any way
Let’s say your phone has a broken fingerprint entry, and you simply forgot about it. Include a password! This is an important measure and should not be neglected. In addition, in the same WhatsApp, there is a password entry – this is called “Two-step verification”. You will enter your PIN every time your number is verified in the app. This thing works frivolously, but, perhaps, at the very moment when the phone is in the hands of your girlfriend, it will work.
Hidden folders on the phone
I’m sure you know how to create hidden folders on your phone, but you often neglect it, leaving everything in the Gallery. Experience has shown that storing pictures like this is not worth it: if you have pictures from the past weekend in the style of “Bachelor in Vegas”, then it is better to hide them in hidden folders on your phone. Somewhere away.
How to transfer photos to the cloud
Some important files are best stored in the cloud.
If you are not a fan of hidden folders and are afraid of losing them, then feel free to use cloud storage . We have already talked about which ones are better to choose. Personally, I choose OneDrive for storing photos: I like that the application has a Touch ID sign-in. In any case, I can safely store in the cloud what should “stay in Vegas.”
Favorites in Telegram
Telegram is so cool that it can be used not only for its intended purpose. For example, store files in Favorites. Combined with fingerprint login, this method is no worse than cloud storage !
Disable phone notifications
Turn off notifications and sound if you don’t want to fall under suspicion
We have already written about how useful it is sometimes to take a break from all kinds of notifications in a smartphone. Disable them so as not to give the girl reasons for jealousy once again, even if it’s just push notifications from other readers of our Telegram chat . And with this you will protect yourself if you find her with your smartphone in her hands. Perhaps not showing a push with a message from a friend will save you a little time and help you avoid a showdown. It’s also a great way to sleep well at night: you can’t find anything on a locked smartphone with the Internet on.
Correspondence on the phone
Clean up conversations on your phone if you don’t want problems
My experience shows that chatting in instant messengers can be perceived in different ways. For a guy, these are ordinary jokes, in which there is no hidden meaning, for a girl – confirmation of guesses. If your girlfriend perceives everything differently, then this is a great reason to start deleting the correspondence on the phone. It is not so important who you chatted with: it is better to delete what questions may arise. Even joking with your friends can embarrass you.
The girl climbs on my phone
If this still happened, but you did everything right, then you cannot be guilty in such a situation. Be sure to express your dissatisfaction with what is happening: a smartphone is your personal space, which should not be violated in any case.
Have you taken all measures? You have nothing to fear
Find out the reasons why she controls your phone: there must be some explanation. This is too unacceptable situation: demand her phone in return and study it thoroughly. Retaliation is normal.
Your data is what you yourself must authorize access to. Others definitely do not belong here – this is a violation of personal space, regardless of how close the person is. Sometimes it happens that it is not possible to wean your soul mate from climbing in someone else’s phone. The best way to prevent an unpleasant situation is to protect your smartphone in all possible ways.
