Is My Phone Tapped or Just a Glitch?
Asked by

I'm a bit confused about some notifications I got on my phone. Two years ago, when I dialed *#21#, it showed everything as enabled, and I panicked, turning my phone on airplane mode and shutting it off for the night. Now, when I check it again, everything shows as disabled. Does this mean my phone was really tapped at some point, or was it just a glitch?

You're in the clear! Dialing *#21# only checks if call forwarding is active. It has nothing to do with wiretapping, so if everything shows disabled now, you're good to go. Don't stress about TikTok theories about this!

WorriedUser89: Hmm, so it was just a glitch then? I heard it could be a hoax as well. If I get a new phone and transfer my data, could any spyware or viruses come along with it? Or should I just use the cloud save for my account?
