phone monitoring
Wiretapping someone's device
Phone monitoring is the practice of tracking or surveilling activity on a mobile phone—calls, texts, location, app usage, or browsing history.
Parents use monitoring software to oversee children's phones; employers may monitor company devices.
The term also covers law enforcement surveillance of suspects' communications: The investigation included phone monitoring of the suspect's calls.
In relationships, phone monitoring without consent raises serious privacy concerns.
