Now, if you wanted to have a sensitive conversation without worry, you could remove the phone's battery. The app makes your phone pretend to be off - it turns off the screen, ignores incoming calls and doesn't respond to button presses - but the spying will still be going on. The worst part is that even if you turned the phone off to be safe, it wouldn't really be off. Any conversation you have or any embarrassing thing you do, the NSA will have it recorded. ![]() Your phone basically becomes a bug that tells the NSA everything going on around you. It also gives full access to your phone's microphone and camera. This spying app though doesn't just steal your surfing history, text messages and photos. Spying apps aren't anything new everyone from corporations to hackers to jealous exes use them.
