Malware
Spyware
In Turkish: Casus yazılım (spyware)
Software that secretly watches what you do and sends it to someone else: messages, location, passwords, browsing.
Spyware stays quiet on purpose. It may record what you type, read your messages, copy your photos or follow your location, and it usually hides from the list of apps you see.
Signs can include a battery that drains fast, a hot phone, unexpected data use or settings you did not change. None of these proves anything alone, but together they are a reason to check.
What to do
- Check which apps have access to your camera, microphone, location and device admin rights, and remove what you do not know.
- Update the system, then run the built-in security scan.
- If you suspect it, change key passwords from another device first.
