The social media platform is one tool we use that can be used to spy on us by our friends or foes. Social media applications like Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Instagram, Twitter, etc. can be used concurrently on two phones without one noticing. Therefore, this simultaneous login capability made it possible for people who knew your login credentials to log in to your account using a different device, thereby monitoring your account. In this post, we will discuss how you can check if someone is monitoring you using the following social media applications: Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, WhatsApp, Twitter, and LinkedIn. How to Check If Someone is Monitoring You Using Facebook Messenger Facebook Messenger is a very common tool you can be monitored with. This is because of how separate it is from the main Facebook app and its ability to accept more than one login account. To check if someone is monitoring your chats on Facebook Messenger, follow these steps. Open your Messenger app In the top right or left corner, select or tap on your image icon. 3. Then scroll down until you see Account Settings. Select it. 4. Scroll down to Security and Login and select it too. Then a list of where you're logged in will be displayed. 5. Check the names of the devices where you are logged in and the locations. If you see the name of a device that is strange or is not your phone or computer name, that means that someone has logged into your account on another device and is monitoring your activity. Note: Most times, the location of the device might not be accurate depending on where you are. The location will most often depend on the location of your internet service provider. It will only be accurate when you constantly allow the Facebook app to access your location. It is always a red flag when the device's name is not the same as your phone or computer name.
