Spyware is often invisible to you as the device owner, and could potentially give the attacker complete access to your data. It could also happen (although it’s less likely) if you click on a suspicious link and download a piece of malicious software disguised as an innocent app. This is most likely to happen if someone has physical access to your device, even if it’s just for a short amount of time. A common method of installing spyware is for someone to plant a hidden spy app on your smartphone. Spyware is malicious software designed to track everything you do on your device.
