The average person spends around 5 hours on their phone every single day.
Thats 20 percent of an entire day.
We shop on our phones, we talk on our phones, we browse the web and answer emails.
Companies and governemnts know how much time we spend on our phones, and its quite possible
that they use that knowledge to your advantage.
Have you ever noticed that you’ll be talking about a product or browsing products online,
then, as if by magic, an ad for that product will appear when you’re scrolling through
your feed?
Is that a coincidence?
Or Is your phone spying on you?
And more importantly, are criminals using your phone to spy on you? that’s the question
we’re asking today on life’s biggest questions.
Hello and welcome back to life’s biggest questions, the channel that asks the questions
everyone else is too afraid to ask.
I’m your host, charlotte dobre, and if you haven’t subscribed to life’s biggest questions

Before I get into this video, I wanted to give a quick shout out to the sponsor of this
video, Spyzie.
In fact, will help keep the bad guys away.
Spyzie is an app with over 1 million satisfied users that allows you to track the activity
of any smartphone whether its apple or android, from any of your devices.
Did you know that around 75% of young people in the united states are given smart phones
by a parent.
There are 74 million children in total in the US.
75 percent of 74 million children is 55 million.
And young people are spending more time on their phones than ever, which makes them vulnerable
to criminals.
Teens spend nearly 9 hours every day consuming media.
But there’s a dark side to all of this.
Did you know that teens are 50 times more likely to have their identities stolen because
of their clean credit records.
Furthermore, children are vulnerable to online predators and bullies.
But if you use the app spyzie, you have a control over a lot of things.
Firstly, there’s an app blocker, that allows you to block certain apps to keep threats
away.
Does your child spend too much time on their phone?
Well spyzie also has a schedule restriction that will allow you to restrict the amount
of time spent on a mobile phone.
Is your child prone to running off when you’re in public?
No problem.
Spyzie has gps tracking that keeps you informed on where a user is who has downloaded the
spyzie app.
You can monitor almost all activities on a phone, from texts, to calls, to social instant
messaging chats, browser history, videos, and photos.
Its not just for parents.
You can use spyzie to monitor your employees activities as well, to keep your office computers
from being compromised.
And you can do so from your phone, computer or any of your devices.
If you want to protect your loved ones, download the spyzie app now.
Alright, now lets get into this video.
We’ve all seen the FBI is spying on you memes, but some of us have actually wondered
if the FBI or anyone else is actually spying on you through your devices.
Former FBI director James Comey says he covers his laptops webcam with tape.
But what about phones?
The truth is, every time you give an app permission to use your camera and microphone, the app
is allowed to access the following.
The front as well as the back camera, record you at any time that the app is in the foreground,
take pictures without telling you, upload pictures without telling you, run facial recognition
to detect facial features or expressions, and livestream the camera on the internet.
There’s even technology that allows these apps to detect if one person is on their phone
alone, or if there are two people looking at the screen.
Its insane what phones can do these days, and most of the time they are doing it without
us knowing.
In fact, apps are allowed to do this legally through a loophole.
When you agree to let the app use your camera and microphone, it pretty much gives them
free reign.
So why would an app want to have access to your camera, facial recognition and microphone?
Targeted ads.
This may seem harmless, but the problem comes when criminals are able to hack these apps.
It is extremely easy for a hacker to access your device through apps, messages, PDF files
and even emojis.
Yes, you heard that right, emojis.
A hacker can send a malicious pdf file using an application called Metasploit, and if this
pdf is opened by a user, the hacker can then install software on their device, steal their
passwords, take all the files, photos and videos, take pictures and stream video from
their camera and they can also add incriminating documents to your device and then call the
police.
This makes younger, inexperienced users especially vulnerable.
A child who’s never seen a suspicious email or message before might be prompted to click
the link.
Hey, if I were a kid who’s new to smartphones and technology and I read the words “you
just won 50 thousand dollars, click this link to claim your funds’ I would for SURE click
on it.
But I’m an adult, and I know better.
At least I think I do…
Ok so what about the government?
We have to assume that our governments are trying to protect us, but they also reportedly
have access to our phones.
The NSA can access your devices and listen in on your phone calls, read your messages,
take pictures and videos of you and take your files whenever they want.
Apparently the NSA has already done this as well.
An NSA program called optic nerves captured images using yahoo users cameras and video
chats, and then stored them.
Apparently 3 to 11 percent of the images captured during Optic Nerves contained undesirable
nudity.
Well that’s pretty crazy.
Government security agencies might have seen your dick picks and they are storing them
for future use?
That’s definitely not ok.
So how do you stop hackers and the government from tapping into your phone, or worse, your
child’s phone?
Well, other than covering your camera with tape and turning off your microphone, Download
spyzie of course.
You can monitor everything that’s happening are doing on any device in real time.
You can check in on apps to make sure that your child really is talking to their friends,
or somebody else.
Did you know that there are over 750 thousand registered online predators in the united
states alone?
These predators make fake profiles and find kids through social media apps.
You might think, well then couldn’t the hacker hack my computer or smartphone and
get access to my child’s information that way?
Think again.
Every piece of information that’s collected and encrypted and locked away, so no one except
you can access your family’s data.
