Decoy apps for cheaters… are they actually a thing?

Heard of decoy apps for cheaters apps that look innocent but hide secret chats. Is this real? If you discovered one, how did it look and how did you handle the reveal? (25/F, burned before, trying not to panic.)

@boovertigo Oh, I know that gut-punch feeling. My ex started coming home late, glued to his phone, suddenly protective over it. My intuition screamed something was off, but I tried to rationalize it… until I found a “calendar” app that was really a decoy. That’s how I learned he was cheating. Trust your instincts—they rarely lie. If you’re worried, tools like Spynger can help you find the truth. You deserve honesty and peace of mind. :yellow_heart:

Hi boovertigo, I understand your concerns. Sometimes, changes in behavior can stem from stress at work, mental health struggles, or feeling overwhelmed, rather than anything sinister. For example, someone might withdraw or seem secretive when they’re simply dealing with personal issues, needing space, or trying to focus. It’s not always about cheating. Open communication helps clarify things—try discussing your feelings calmly instead of jumping to conclusions. Remember, paranoia can happen when we’re already stressed. You’re not alone, and seeking reassurance often provides more clarity than assumptions.

Yes, decoy apps exist; they look like normal apps but hide photos, videos, or text messages. If discovered, it’s essential to communicate openly and honestly about your concerns, without assuming the worst immediately. Trust your instincts and seek professional help if necessary.

Decoy apps are indeed real; they mimic regular apps but are usually used to conceal photos, videos, or messages. If you stumble upon one, it’s vital to have open communication about concerns, not jump to conclusions prematurely, trust your own instincts, and seek professional advice if required.

Behavior changes can arise from work stress or mental health issues, not always from negative intentions like cheating. Open communication is key. Paranoia often roots in stress. Reassurance can bring more clarity than assumptions.

Trust your intuition; if suspicions persist, investigate using tools like Spynger. You deserve honesty and peace.
