Can my parents see what apps I am using on my phone? - jtyoung0826 - 01-30-2013 10:02 PM
I have an android phone that is hooked up to MY gmail address and is on Verizon and well, my question is...is there any way for my parents to see what apps I am using on my phone without actually HAVING my phone in their hands? I know that, if they had my email address and password they can see it. But is there any way for them to see what is using the internet on my phone? For example, is there any way for them to be like "oh he used the Twitter app to connect to the internet on December 6th!"
Now, I'm not talking about "can they see what apps I've bought" because I'm not gonna PURCHASE any apps...and even if I did purchase them, it'd be directly from MY credit card.
And one more follow up question...
If I have my phone on airplane mode, and connected to Wi-Fi...there shouldn't be a way for them to see my internet/app usage then...is there?

No. Would your parents actually monitor your apps?
And unless they have software to track it at the router no.

------ nope! They would need to know your Gmail username and password and log into Playstore online to see your downloaded apps.
I know that, if they had my email address and password they can see it. But is there any way for them to see what is using the internet on my phone?
--------- no Wireless carriers only track data usage in KB and MG and GB... they dont track word by word texts, download history, web history, etc... this is a violition of FCC federal Law.
For example, is there any way for them to be like "oh he used the Twitter app to connect to the internet on December 6th!"
--------- no... that technology doesnt exist
Now, I'm not talking about "can they see what apps I've bought" because I'm not gonna PURCHASE any apps...and even if I did purchase them, it'd be directly from MY credit card.
--------- good, cause I was about to say----purchased apps using ATT/VErizon/Sprint/ Tmobile BILL TO MOBILE option will appear on the bill.... apps purchased by credit/debit card wont show on the bill
And one more follow up question...
If I have my phone on airplane mode, and connected to Wi-Fi...there shouldn't be a way for them to see my internet/app usage then...is there?
------- WIFI wont work on airplane mode.... anyways, if you on wifi, your no longer connected to cellular data which means that usage wont appear as KB/MB/GB on the bill
