Step 1
Check the temperature of your mobile phone battery within an hour or two after the end of the call. The battery usually cools during this time, which indicates that it is discharging slowly. If its temperature is high, this indicates that your phone is actively using some application, it is quite possible that it is spyware. Typically, the installation of such software is most affected by mobile devices based on Symbian and Windows Mobile platforms, there are also applications for iOS.
Step 2
If you have a working battery, pay attention to the time it takes for it to discharge completely. Since spyware uses it almost all the time, the battery should drain one and a half to two times faster. It could also mean that the battery is worn out, so try to test the phone's performance by inserting a new battery.
Step 3
When you turn on your mobile phone, check the boot time, usually with installed spyware, there is a slight delay in the activation of the device, accompanied by flashing of the button illumination, which can be turned on for a certain time after the phone boots up.
Step 4
Pay attention to general signs of strange behavior of your mobile phone, it may turn itself off, reboot, install software without your intervention, periodically turn on the backlight of the keys and screen, and so on. In this case, check the list of loaded processes more often using built-in or third-party utilities, also check the list of programs currently running on your mobile device.
Step 5
Listen for interference as you talk. They can also occur under normal circumstances, for example, when the device is near the speakers or when the signal level is not high enough to maintain a normal conversation. There is continuous interference and noise while listening to your mobile device when you are near the speakers.
