“I Know What You’re Doing”: Woman Shares Way She Spies On Partner, Sparks Outrage Online
A woman’s intrusive tactic to spy on her partner has sparked conversation online about the lengths some people go to in order to put their trust issues to rest.
TikToker Abby Paige suggested she monitored her partner’s internet activity thanks to an app that allowed her to see what they were up to online.
It all began with a video captioned “like i know what youre doin stink” that shows Abby smirking with an on-screen text that reads, “when their phone is always hidden from you but they’re connected to your wifi.” Demonic laughter can be heard in the background, too.

“When their phone is always hidden from you but they’re connected to your wifi,” TikToker Abby Paige wrote

The intriguing six-second clip, viewed almost 700,000 times, piqued users’ curiosity, making Abby upload a follow-up video explaining her strategy in greater detail.
In the next clip, the young woman claimed that her Xfinity WiFi service can be set up to track what other users are doing on the network. “I did this on accident, I didn’t even mean to do it,” she admitted.
Abby continued by sharing her phone’s screen with the Xfinity app open. As she revealed, the app allows her to assign a wifi-connected device to a specific user.
The TikToker showed she had her home’s smart TV and Xbox assigned.

Then, she went to the “manage 1 person” part of the app, and demonstrated how she was able to view the user’s most used apps (in the case shown on screen, it was Instagram and X), how much time they’d been on them, the peak hours of app use, and total wifi use time.
However, Xfinity’s Sherlock Holmes resources are limited, as the company has confirmed their services can’t be used to track a person’s history through a router or modem.
“The only way to see your complete browsing history would be through the ‘History’ or ‘Security’ settings tab on the individual [internet] browsers used,” they wrote on a blog post.

Additionally, anyone with administrator-level capabilities can change settings in the Xfinity app, restricting users to specific times of the day or night.
People had mixed feelings about Abby’s anti-cheating technique, with some raising ethical concerns about spying on someone’s online behavior, and others labeling her an “MVP.”
“I’d be outta there so quick. Not cause I’m not loyal but because I refuse to be in a relationship with no trust,” someone wrote.
“Some of yall asking how to do it in the comment section, like yall need to be leaving that person if you feel the need to do this…” another person said.
A third person agreed, “if a man lost my trust this hard you better believe I’m leaving. I’m not going to invade his privacy. I’m not babysitting anyone.”
The app lets her know the user’s most used social media apps, how much time they’ve been on them as well as the peak hours of app use and total wifi use time

“This isn’t a flex. HELLA invasion of privacy & just flat out psychotic…how do u do it please,” someone else joked.
Recently, another case of technology being employed for detective purposes came to light when a woman found out her husband had been unfaithful after an Airbnb host shared a security camera photo of the married guest with another woman.
The “superhost” apparently decided to take vengeance after the man, Shawn Mackey, violated the house’s strict no-party rule and left a negative review about the property.
Mackey then filed a lawsuit against the host and Airbnb, alleging “extreme emotional distress” and “public humiliation” due to the incident.
Many people considered Abby’s anti-cheating tactic to be too extreme
Pet peeve: interest or curiosity is "piqued" - NOT peaked or picked
My pet peeve is "on accident". No it isn't, it's "BY accident" and yes, this is the hill that I will die on.

What a sicko. if the person you are with is doing this, there are big problems already. Get rid of her now.
This wasn't as bad as most TikTok posts, but really could do with just the story/information and not screenshots of a toxic idiot's giant fat face and stupid pointing.
Maybe if you weren't screaming "pay attention to me" at the bottom of every single article...

If she would spend this much energy and concentration into either their relationship or getting out, they'd both be better off. She's a human red flag.
Next up on "How to be a stalker" analyzing the router logs to find out exactly what IP addresses your partner has been visiting.
Is it stalking if they're in your home, using your wifi? 🤔 Of course, this behavior is awful. But in a different way than stalking. 🤷

I hope Abby enjoys being single. She just advertised that she's a psycho.
Wow, if you are that suspicious of your partner, why are you with them? My husband has access to my phone, my passwords, and I his. (Because neither of us can ever remember passwords!) But we have nothing to hide from each other. Communication and open honesty is important.
This is just sad. Just LEAVE them if this is level you feel you need to take, whether it's for your peace of mind of because you have to monitor their actual cheating. This isn't normal nor is it healthy. And because some people at this site are morons and don't understand context and that not every everything fits every situation, I have to explain that if can't "just leave" a relationship for whatever reason then this obviously doesn't apply to you.
The only reason I can see for spying is to gather evidence. If I spied on my better half, I'd likely find: "Belgian Recipes for Complete Idiots"; "Where to find monuments to Henry the Navigator"; and a message from the local library: "Please return 'A Brief History of Time' within the next three days." So now I'd have evidence that he's a nerd. Dammit, I married him for his looks! For his resemblance to the guy on the Dummies books!
HOW I FOUND OUT MY WIFE WAS CHEATING THROUGH THE HELP OF SWIFT RECOVERY SERVICE I was one of many men who never thought a day would come when my wife would cheat on me. I found out when my friend and I jokingly got a hacker called SWIFT RECOVERY FIRM to spy on our wives’ phones. There were no signs at all of her infidelity so I was 100% sure that I wouldn’t get anything suspicious in her phone. On the other hand, my friend had doubts based on his wife’s recent behaviour. We got a cyber company called SWIFT RECOVERY to do the job and they immediately sent us instructions which later gave us access to the women’s phones. The shock I felt when I checked her WhatsApp and messages is hard to describe. My wife is the sweetest and most caring woman on earth and there was no way I would ever imagine her hurting me in any way. But surprisingly, she had been sleeping with our son’s coach for what seemed like months. I ambushed her and her defence was that she got lonely because I no longer gi
And today on "The most toxic partner"... And the wifi service provider should be investigated if there are any privacy laws in america.
And imagine if the genders were reversed. FFS, whatever happened to trusting your partner?
Did you read the comments? From either Tic Tok or here on Board Panda? Most people aren't agreeing with this behavior. Most people are.sayinf this is bad thing. No gender swap needed. Things are already out into perspective.
