Did you know that anyone can get your personal information and read your private messages? Recently Behemoth search engine Google faces privacy lawsuits against a man in Califonia. The lawsuit states the company continues to track the whereabouts of Android smartphone users even after he user tuned off "location history"; and also without the knowledge of users they will be able to record information.
Agence Fance-Press stated that due to its money-making potential,privacy concerns regarding mobile devices have grown popular. Example when a tourist visit a place, he will not only receiving advertisement from his country but from the country where he's standing too. According to study from Yale University, they found out that three quarters of Android apps contained trackers which usually in a form of advertisement.
CNIL further found that some apps track the phone's more than a million times over a three-month period - having an access to the information every minute.
Now we've gathered the most useful codes for smartphones together with some instructions on how to detect intruders.

This will able to find out where calls, messages, and data are being redirected to. Your voice calls are being redirected to one of your cell phone operator's numbers. Also this is use if you don't have any service currently available.
*#61# can be used to check the number for unanswered calls on iPhone & *#67# if the iPhone is busy.
