Android operating systems do not offer built-in features for one user to have direct access to another user's calls and messages without the use of specialized third-party software or spyware.


If you are an adult and someone has unauthorized access to your calls and messages, it may be due to one of the following possibilities:


  1. Spyware or monitoring apps: Your mom might have installed spyware or monitoring apps on your phone without your knowledge. These apps can be used to track and access calls, messages, and other activities on your device remotely.
  2. Physical access to your device: If your mom had physical access to your phone, she might have installed monitoring apps or made changes to your device settings to gain access to your calls and messages.
  3. Carrier account access: In some cases, parents may have access to the carrier account, allowing them to see call and message logs for all devices on the same account.


It is essential to respect privacy and have open communication about such matters with your parents or guardians.


If you believe you are an adult and your privacy is being violated without your consent, it is essential to address the issue and consider seeking help from a trusted adult or legal authority. Make sure to secure your devices with strong passwords or biometric security measures and be cautious about sharing personal information and credentials. If you suspect any unauthorized apps or activities on your phone, it is advisable to perform a security scan or seek technical assistance from a professional to ensure your device's safety.
