just put people straight

phone has been hacked
or tapped or your calls diverted etc etc
keep watching cause i've got the scoop
you know i do
let's go
[Music]
welcome back my name is jessica i'm a
broadcaster fitness enthusiast bike girl
and a voice actor as well i reside in
ghana and today i'm going to get
in just because i can i happen to know
these things you know and when i know i
gotta gotta gotta gotta share because
that's who i am
click the subscribe button you know i
got you anyway
so i'm gonna be sharing with you simple
codes that you can punch into your phone
to see whether your phone calls for
instance are being diverted
or being redirected and these are very
simple ways that
you will be able to sort of know the
activity that goes on in your phone
whilst nobody's looking now before i get
into that though
real quick okay there are a couple of
things that you need to also sort of
just
do go through to ensure that your phone
is
absolutely safe for you to continue
using
and the simplest ways for you to go into
your app settings okay or your
application manager
on your phone go into settings advanced
settings depending on your phone
uh it will differ on where these um
settings or these placements will
actually be but try and find your
application manager go through all the
apps if there any apps in there that you
did not install that look suspicious and
that kind of thing
chances are they are you can google them
to be sure that they're actually safe
apps or find out what these apps do by
um checking or cross-checking them in
the google play store and other
stores that are verified it once that is
out of the way
there are also application permissions
that you can sort of revoke
where you make sure that your phone does
not install apps from
unknown sources okay so you're always
making sure that you have apps from
your google play store or your ios app
store
you know um which are verified and you
know they actually know that these are
not like
apps that have spyware or malware or any
of that
weird stuff okay cool so now that these
two are out of the way
let me tell you if you've gone through
all these and you're sure that you still
don't have anything
but you want to like double triple check
here is code number one
just grab your phone and take note of
this
before i tell you the code one important
thing that you need to know about
every single phone is every phone has
an imei number now imei stands for
international mobile equipment identity
so it's like your phone's
fingerprint now if you lose your phone
you should be able to track your phone
no matter where it is in the world
with its imei number and so it's very
important that at least you should write
it down
now how do you know what your imei
number is simply down
on your phone and i'll go right here
starhash06hash
and your imei number will pop up on your
screen you can write it down somewhere
for safekeeping just in case your phone
ever goes missing
all right so now that we've got that out
of the way let me show you something
else
now the first thing you want to do to
see if your phone is hacked or
has malware spyware your calls have been
diverted
is to simply dial
star hash to one hash
and then you press send
it says mmi code started and soon
something's gonna pop up on your screen
now once this thing pops up it's gonna
be giving you all the information
you need to know to find out whether
your calls are being
diverted so for instance if you look on
my phone screen it says call forwarding
unconditionally voice not forwarded data
not forwarded fax not forwarded sms not
forwarded
sync async packet pad not forwarded so
it means that
there is no app on my phone that is
forwarding my messages even before it
gets to my phone and there are certain
apps that can do that where
as soon as you get a call a call the
call never actually hits your phone
it hits whoever's phone um whoever
hacked your phone essentially so if
you're dialing say
zero three zero two one two whatever
whatever the number is
it will go to this other person who
would have had or gained
access to your phone so this tells you
that
um essentially and hopefully if you know
you dial that number and there was no
call forwarding
none of these are being forwarded your
calls are not being diverted so you're
safe
now if you want to be double sure there
is another
short code that you need to memorize and
it's pretty simple
it's star hash 6
2 hash once again simply dial the number
mmi code started it will say and then
shortly it will pop up with information
um that you will need to know so on this
phone it's telling me that
when my phone is off or my number is not
reachable my calls are being diverted
to this other phone number that just
popped up on my screen
now that is because i personally did
that such that
at any point in time i can always be
reached by people who need me
okay if not on one phone on the other
and i have two phones
reason why it's like that but if for
instance you have not deliberately put
on call forwarding
and you realize that there's a number
that's been placed here
um in this particular tab
then you should know that your calls are
going to go elsewhere
whenever your phone is off so these are
really two
quick easy ways to sort of check that
nobody has
access to your calls your sms's etc
and your phone is safe now that being
said
in case you're still in doubt you're not
sure you know
you you you still strongly believe that
your phone is hacked
just hit the factory reset button go
ahead
back up all your necessary files and
reset your phone
now that way if there's any spyware
malware any apps that you may have
missed
you will make sure that they are deleted
completely and then you can start afresh
huge price to pay if you ask me but
totally worth it i mean you do want to
keep the jealous boyfriend girlfriend
wife husband
partner out don't you
thanks for watching until next time
you
