Can someone spy on my iPad using peektab or other spy apps?

I'm afraid someone has put peektab on my iPad 2. Is there anyway that can happen? If so, how can I detect if it is on there and what can I do if it is?

iPad 2, iOS 6.1.4

Is your iPad jailbroken? If it isn't then Peektab, and most if not all monitoring software of that nature, cannot be installed.


If it is Jailbroken, then we cannot help you as Jailbreaking is not supported by Apple, and as such forefits any help from them or these forums.


Why do you tihnk it has been installed? If its a corporate tablet, then the company is entitled to install whatever they deem necessarry on their devices.

Not unless you jailbreak it.

An un broken iOS, does not allow apps access to other apps activity or file area as by designed all Apps are kept in their own sandboxed areas without no access to other Apps, or the system itself.


Jailbreaking allows Apps to go and access anything they want anywhere on the device, which not only allows monitoring software to run, but exposes the iPad to viruses and other nasty things they are otherwise not vulnerable to.
