This article is intended to showcase all of the apps that cheaters will use to keep their affairs a secret. Additionally, you will learn about some of the features of these apps.

But there’s more.

As a matter of fact, I will not just tell you – as everyone does – what chat apps do cheaters use, but I will also share with you some of the best techniques you can use to find out if your partner is actually being faithful.  These techniques are 100% working and I tested them myself before sharing them with you.

Hello! It’s Frankie here again. If this is your first time on my blog let me introduce myself: I’m an instant messaging app expert and I”ve been studying and practicing all sorts of ethical hacking techniques applied to chat apps for several years.

But back to us.

Unfortunately, it is a common thing for people in relationships to cheat these days.

It is sad but true.

Recent statistics are even less encouraging, proposing that in a third of marriages one or both partners admit to cheating. If you are interested in data, I will share with you the research conducted by the Institute for Family Studies.

If you want to know how so many people can get by with their cheating, you have come to the right place.

Why?

Here you can discover the kind of Android and iPhone apps they download to avoid suspicions and learn their secrets firsthand.

That’s right, all of their secrets.

Also, you can expect a comprehensive list of the most used infidelity apps so you can keep a secret (though it is more honest to break up) or to catch your wife/husband or significant other red handed. In this regard I would suggest you to have a look at my guides on how to catch cheaters using WhatsApp or through Facebook.

Technology, specifically smartphones, have made it harder and easier to cheat all at the same time.

While this might seem contradictory, it still remains the truth.

For starters, phones tend to leave a trail of communication between cheater and lover. At the same time, certain apps make it easier than ever to conceal these communications from everyone they know.

Ready to find out a little more, let’s dive right in.

Various Apps For Different Kinds of Cheaters

First, you have to get inside the mind of the cheater.

I’m sure this is not especially difficult to do.

One of their primary concerns is keeping their illicit conversations private and away from the eyes of their committed partner, correct?

Many messages to cover up including regular messages regarding times and places to meet, suggestive material and even sexting messages.

But that is not the worst of it.

No, the worst of it is the images and videos, which at times can be downright out incriminating. Imagine such sensitive material ending up in a divorce lawyer’s hand. Unfortunately or fortunately, apps address all kinds of secret communications that need to transpire.

First you have to consider what kind of cheater you are, or believe your partner to be.

Yes, you read that correctly!

A cheater is not just a cheater. There are serial cheaters, professional cheaters and even the occasional infidelity.

As with any field of expertise, some tools are meant for professionals while others offer simplicity to newbies.

First, let’s see the arsenal in use by serial and occasional cheaters.

Messaging Apps For Serial Cheaters

Let’s summon up the supposed traits of a serial cheater.

He/She is a solitary hunter. Much like a jaguar, they constantly hunt for prey but never take action with the herd. They do not trust people.

They are going to operate based on a calculated plan, leaving nothing to chance.

They will operate under the guise of darkness. They choose weapons carefully and never operate unless there is zero risk of getting caught.

Want to know the best/worst part?

Serial cheaters have two or more affairs at once, working to keep their respective relationships apart to avoid getting caught by either.

Let’s take a look at the apps popular for serial cheaters.

These apps can hide messages or delete them as soon as they are sent from a phone. Below are the must have apps of the aspiring or current serial cheater:

1. Viber 

This 3rd party messaging application is available on all major devices. On the outside, it looks like a harmless messaging app, yet in the hands of an informed user, it is a sneaky application for affairs to occur.

Here are some of its features:

Secret Chats – Viber allows you to create secret conversations. The messages in this conversation delete automatically after a certain length of time, say 1-5 minutes. This gives you the freedom to send even the most incriminating of messages, images and video, because within a few minutes it no longer exists anywhere.

Hidden Chats – Viber also allows hidden chats to happen as well. For example, if your spouse picks up your phone and cycles through your chats, the affair will not be visible. Once you key in a pin, the chat appears within the main list, and you can pick up the conversation from where you left off.

2. Signal 

Another cheating application perfect for erasing communications. This also looks like an innocent third party messaging application but has features that make it ideal for affairs to happen.

Disappearing Messages – This deletes all messages and media sent or received from a specific designated user after an allotted amount of time.

You can activate it just for conversations with the lover and set a time interval as often as a minute, making it perfect for those with snoopy significant others.

3. Telegram 

This is also a popular choice. Most people, even those that are not cheating, use this application. It will not raise suspicions then, when you install it on your own phone.

The most recent versions of the app have features almost designed for cheating:

Autodestruct – You can set a countdown timer for the conversations you have with specific users.

Hidden Chats – Telegram gives you the option to have a secret conversation with any user. This will not be accessible to anyone, as it requires a pin to access.

Note: If you choose any of these applications, you can keep multiple affairs going simultaneously without any one person catching on to what you are doing.

Warning: There are other applications for keeping communications a secret or for helping those cheating to find new lovers. Fake Calculator and Vault-Hide are some examples. If you find them on your partner’s phone, it is cause for concern. I cover this in greater detail in my guide – which I believe you may find useful – about the most used secret messaging apps for cheaters.

How To Tell If Your Partner Is A Serial Cheater

If you are concerned there might be a third party to your relationship, your significant other’s phone is a good place to establish this truth.

If your spouse using one or both of these applications, specifically Viber and Signal, you should be a little curious as to what they are up to.

If their reasoning for installing the applications do not seem right, you should attempt to dig in a little farther.

One of the easiest methods to know with certainty is spyware like mSpy installed on their phone and you will have all of the answers you could possibly want and more.

Apps For The Occasional Cheater

Opportunity makes a thief, and that’s one of the truest statements that I know.

For some people, you might be faithful to a fault until an irresistible opportunity presents itself to you. Since your spouse does not likely suspect you of cheating, you need a quick and simple way to keep the suspicions at bay.

Below you can find a couple of the apps that occasional cheaters use to communicate with lovers:

1. WhatsApp 

This is a very simple messaging app that is incredibly popular by nearly all smartphone users. The benefit of this application is its use of end-to-end encryption.

This means that the data you divulge is fully secure and no one can access it unless they use your phone. So if you are cheating and your spouse never looks at your phone, it persists to be a good affair app to use. Bear in mind the possibility of he/she getting an intuition to check it out from time to time, though.

One of the best things that the cheater can do is to lockup the account with a password. This keeps anyone from accessing it from the phone, but it does not save you if spyware has been installed on your device.

About WhatsApp, you may also like:

2. Facebook Messenger 

Often betrayal begins on Facebook. An old classmate, gym partners and ex girlfriends/boyfriends.

Seems like everyone flirts on Facebook.

You start by liking a post innocently and end up chatting in the Messenger.

This is an excellent platform for cheaters who want to have private conversations. This for two reasons: the first is that your Messenger account is secured by password (and two-factor verification). The second is that you can use the Facebook Secret Chats feature to send secret messages to your mistress that are automatically destroyed after a given number of seconds (after being read of course).

It is easier than ever to send messages to anyone right from your phone.

So what’s the kicker?

It is hackable as well, and if your partner knows some tricks, you can imagine what happens.

3. iMessage 

This app is exclusively used by Apple users. It also offers end-to-end encryption which guarantees security for the conversation but can also get spied on with the right software.

Why would cheaters love it?

With iMessage, conversations can happen from iPads, Mac computers and iPhones alike. Of course the drawback is that the more places you converse with your lover, the more chances you have of getting caught.

4. Instagram Direct Message 

Instagram is a popular photo and media platform that can easily double as a great private communication channel. The app offers excellent cover as a social media platform, especially for ladies having an affair.

This is where a lot of cheaters go fishing for new lovers.

It is used by almost every cheater on the planet to find lovers but the difference between professionals and newbies is that they first move their conversations to apps like Signal or Viber instead.

5. Snapchat

A couple of years ago, even before Instagram, it was Snapchat who seduced cheaters (and not only them) around the world with its short videos, special effects and self-destructing messages.

Why is it one of the most popular cheating apps?

Mainly because of the option to send self-destructing messages. These messages can also be videos, so I let you imagine why it has been widely used by infidels.

Cheating Dating Apps Preferred By Both Serial And Occasional Cheaters

Dating apps are one of the best ways to build fleeting connections with people far from the cheater’s circle of friends.

Cheaters, both occasional and serial, know this well.

Internet is full of free and paid cheating dating apps. Below I will list the most used ones.

1. Tinder

Tinder is arguably the most famous cheating dating app in the world. Extremely user-friendly, allows the user to browse the photos uploaded by people who are geographically close to each other.

Just create a profile using Facebook login or from scratch, upload 4 photos, add a description and select the people you like.

Each profile is presented with photos, to which the user can decide whether to assign a sign of appreciation (a little heart) or skip it by simply scrolling with a finger. All this while you are on the subway, at the dentist, queuing at the checkout or on the couch.

When the two people show interest in each other, then the match will start and they can start chatting, go to WhatsApp or maybe decide to meet in person.

2. Bumble

Quite similar to Tinder because of the scrolling search, Bumble has a distinctive feature: it is the female part that is in charge of the game.

This is why it is considered the perfect dating app for women.

On Bumble only women can take the initiative, starting conversations, except in the case of same-sex couples (you can change your preferences from your settings) or people you are friends with on Facebook.

The app is free and currently available for Android, iPad and iPhone devices with iOS 8 or later versions. There is no version for Windows devices. Once installed you can log in via Facebook (from which you get your profile photos and info such as age, date of birth and education), but you must be at least 17 years old to use it.

3. Lovoo

An app that is very popular among cheaters because it offers the possibility to get in touch with people who live in the area.

The way it works is very similar to Instagram: you can see a number of photos and show your appreciation.

To find the people near you, all you have to do is activate the radar feature, which will show photos of men or women who are close to you.

Once you find the right person, through the chat service, you can start to get to know them better and see if they live up to our expectations.

4. Ashley Madison

Ashley Madison gets it straight in its welcome page: “Life is short. Have an affair“, stating that the service is intended for adults and that it is “the best known dating agency outside of marriage“.

Besides North America, the service is active in many other countries of the world, whilst it has been banned in Shanghai (China) because it is against family values and because it promotes adultery.

From the welcome screen of the site you have to say if you are a man or a woman, if you currently have a relationship and the type of partner you are looking for.

The main difference compared to other dating sites is that in the case of Ashley Madison there is explicit mention of people already in a relationship who want to cheat on their partner.

5. Grindr

One of the most popular dating apps used by gay cheaters is Grindr, which is based on location. To start using it you have to subscribe by filling out the form with your email address, password and date of birth, insert a profile photo and then start searching for members near you on the map.

During the creation of the profile you can enter your preferences from the “I’m looking for” entry in order to help the algorithm to show you the people closest to you.

Grindr is very simple and user-friendly, and is available for both iOS and Android from the respective app stores.

Just browse user profiles and scroll through their photos to see if they might be interesting and decide to start a chat. You can send text messages, photos, audio notes, stickers and even your location, just like WhatsApp.

How to Catch Your Partner Cheating

This, in my opinion, is the most interesting part of my guide.

Please pay attention because in a very short time you will possess the tools you need to find out if your partner is cheating on you.

You might be surprised at home many ways there are to catch a spouse cheating, though most of them involve spying on their phone to get the answers you want.

Smartphones have taken considerable strides to make life easier, but they have also ruined it completely in other areas.

Now, everything leaves a trail. Calls, text messages, online transactions and more can all get traced back to the sender.

For those suspected of cheating, here are the best ways of tracing these activities.

1. Google Location History

Few people know that if you have a Gmail account, whenever you location is on with your phone, your phone is keeping a detailed record of all the places you go.

The restaurants, shoddy motels, and other locations all get added and tracked by the phone.

You can actually easily access this data from other devices where this same user stays signed in (like the home computer). You can click on this link on that device or you can google “view your location history in Google Maps.”

It should go without saying that you need to investigate more if you intend to catch your husband or wife red-handed, but this is a good place to start.

I wrote a detailed guide on how to use GPS to find a cheater’s location. Check it out!

2. Hack a Cheater’s Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp

As I have already explained, every messaging app that runs on Android or iOS devices is hackable.

Messenger and WhatsApp in particular are readily hackable.

You can find proof of an affair even if these are not the most favored apps of your cheating partner by hacking one of these options.

Actually, being one of the most popular messaging apps on the planet, there must be compromising messages between either trusted friends or the actual lover.

In different articles, I have explained in great detail how to spy on WhatsApp or how to hack Facebook.

3. mSpy Tracker

This is the perfect spying app to catch cheating spouses. Not surprisingly, many wives use this app to catch the underhanded actions of their untrustworthy husbands.

There is nothing that you cannot use this application and software to spy on, whether it is an iPhone or Android.

There is nothing that you cannot use this application and software to spy on, whether it is an iPhone, an Android, a Mac, PC, or whatever device the cheater uses.

The acquisition of mSpy includes all of these incredible features:

• Location Tracking
• Reviewing Call Logs
• Access to All Text Messages
• Access to All Messaging Apps (WhatsApp, Messenger, iMessage etc.)
• Email Access
• Viewing All Photos and Videos Stored on Phone
• All Installed Apps (Including hidden cheating apps for iPhone and cheaters app for Android for hookups and dating)
• Internet History and Activity (Including Hidden Dating Sites)
• And more and more…

From a safe and undetectable position, you can see literally everything that your partner is doing on their phone.

This is both amazing and scary – all at the same time.

You can install this application on the target phone, and then link the information to yours. You can learn more about installation in this guide I have written: Step-by-Step Guide to mSpy. You will also find a 25% discount voucher (it’s a gift reserved for readers of my blog).

Once you have done this, you are guaranteed to get the answers you seek and all of the information about what your partner is up to.

In short, when you are planning to bring another person into your relationship, you should prepare for this with the best applications designed to keep communication private.

The third-party messaging apps mentioned above are a good place to begin. They can help you to eliminate your incriminating trail of messaging breadcrumbs.

If you are on the other side of things, trying to catch a cheater in their tracks, you can always find the information you seek somewhere on their phone. You can find the trail of evidence and even look at their location history for more concrete evidence.

4. Steal passwords of their Social accounts

If you want to catch your partner red-handed, you might consider stealing their Facebook account passwords, Instagram or any other app they’re using to cheat you.

Stealing passwords is possible but not easy.

The most used technique is the one called Phishing. It is used by professional hackers for confidential and sensitive information such as username, password, or credit card information.

The favorite technique to perform a phishing attack is to send normal emails that look and feel very similar to those found on legitimate websites such as banks or Facebook.

I won’t delve into the details of how you could use it to steal your partner’s passwords because I’ll talk about it extensively in another article. Take a look at it.

5. BONUS TRICK: Psychological tricks to make your wife or husband confess

One of my favorite methods to make someone confess are psychological ones supported by some technological tool.

Nobody ever thinks about it but the easiest thing to hack is the human mind.

Yup, everything can be hacked!

Just think that there is a scientific branch, known as social engineering, that looks after all those techniques that can trick the mind of others and make them do what they want us to do.

I have written two great guides that help you find out if your wife is cheating on you or if your husband is being unfaithful. Among the many ways to catch the cheater red-handed, there are also those related to social engineering. Check them out.

But wait! 

Since you need to confront your partner with this technique, before making any reckless moves and risking making a bad impression by accusing them of cheating, watch out for certain signals.

I am talking about some unequivocal signals to understand if your partner is cheating on you.

The most glaring are:

• They always hold their mobile at hand and won’t lend it to you for any reason
• Cares more about their appearance
• They’re always defensive and make excuses for everything
• They accuse you of cheating if you try to speak up

Conclusion

Now we have finally reached the end of this lengthy guide. I hope that you have found one or more of the answers that you have been seeking.

I think it is important to give you a short recap, though, in case you missed anything.

Apple and Google’s stores are both brimming with messaging apps. There are options to suit every taste.

There are some apps that those who cheat prefer to use over others. In this guide, I have shown you all of them and split them up based on the type of cheater that might benefit the most from using it.

In the first part of the guide I analyzed apps used by Serial Cheaters such as Viber, Signal, and Telegram. They are the safest messaging apps to speak with your lover. Among their various features, they allow you to create messages that self-destruct and chats that are protected by a password.

The second part of the guide listed apps used by Occasional Cheaters. These don’t require as much espionage, so they usually just use WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, iMessage, and Instagram Direct. These are the most commonly used messaging apps.

I also took a moment to tell you the 3 best techniques to catch cheating red-handed.

However, if you have any doubts or questions, or you’ve found that there’s an app on your partner’s phone that isn’t mentioned among these and you want to know more, leave a comment on the post or put follow on my Instagram profile and contact me. I’ll be happy to help you out.

With love,

PS. – A cheater can be very clever and remove traces of all conversations. In this case, you might want to go a step farther and spy on a cheater’s phone.

About Frankie Caruso

How Common Is Cheating?

When you start dating someone, you and your partner develop a foundation for something beautiful. One of the most important parts of a romantic connection is trust. That means believing your partner will be faithful to you. You need to trust that your partner loves you and wants to be with you. When you think about it, that's a hard leap of faith to take. But it's what is necessary for a healthy relationship. Many of us choose to think positively and assume the best. We want to think our partners are loyal. Unfortunately, as much as we would like to believe that our partners are faithful, cheating is common in relationships. Many marriages end in divorce, and one of the most common causes of divorce is infidelity. This is unfortunate, but it's not surprising given the statistics. According to the Institute For Family Studies, 13% of women and 20% of men have cheated via sex while married. Apps aren't to blame for cheating; it takes personal responsibility to refrain from engaging in infidelity.

However, many people who cheat on their spouses may use apps to do so. Depending on the cheating your partner is engaging in, whether sexual, emotional or otherwise, there are different apps they might use to cheat or hide their behavior. Is your partner using apps to engage in an affair? If you think they might be cheating on you, here are some common apps that someone could use to engage in infidelity that you should be aware of and look out for on your partner's phone or tablet.

1. Viber

This is a messaging system and third-party application that's available on all major smartphones and devices. On the surface, it looks like a regular messaging app, but it has components that make it easy for people to communicate in secrecy and talk about private matters. For example, it has a hidden chat option, which means that if a partner were to look at your phone, they wouldn't know about the conversation. Secret conversations are integral to people involved in affairs. The secrecy of the communication adds to the appeal of the connection. When someone uses Viber, they can keep their communication confidential and tantalizing.

1. Telegram

Telegram isn't only for having affairs. Many people use this app - not just people who are cheating. Telegram is another common chat app like Signal or WhatsApp. However, there are pieces of this app that can be used for infidelity. As with Viber, there's a hidden chat option. Also, there's a timed option for automatic destruction of correspondence.

1. GPS Tracking Apps

A tracking app isn't something they'll use to cheat on you through chat or video; it is a tool they might utilize to get away with their affair without getting caught. If your partner has a GPS tracking app on their phone (which is not the same as a normal GPS app that helps you get to where you're going; it's a way to see where someone else is at all times), they might be using it to keep tabs on you. If you have a reason to suspect cheating, this is something to look into for sure.

1. Dating Apps

If someone has a dating app on their phone and is in a committed partnership, it's a dead giveaway that they are unhappy in their current relationship. If you have an open relationship or your partner is using an app to make friends, and they've communicated with you about it, that's one thing. If they've never told you about the app and you happen to notice that they're occupied by an app that is for dating specifically, however, it's a likely cause for concern. Examples of dating apps include Tinder, Bumble, OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, eHarmony, and Match. There are many dating apps out there, so this is by no means an extensive list.

1. Benign Social Media Apps

Social media may seem like a harmless place to connect with old friends or make new online connections. However, it's a place that can be a breeding ground for infidelity. Whether it's having an emotional affair or it becomes a full-on physically intimate relationship, social media can be the catalyst for cheating. It brings forth the idea that if your partner is unfaithful, they might not necessarily use a special app for that purpose. For example, Instagram is a tool that can encourage outside affairs. It's a place where it's easy to talk to people in a private setting on your terms. Here's more:

1. Instagram

Instagram is a popular app where people share videos and images. You can write long captions where you share about anything from how your day went to an excellent meal that you had at a restaurant. Almost everyone has an Instagram account these days, and nothing about having an Instagram account alludes to cheating. However, some people who cheat will use Instagram messaging to communicate privately with the person they see outside of their relationship. You can initiate conversations with people you don't know based on their physical appearance or what they share. You can delete messages after having the conversations. People might use Instagram, Facebook, or any other social media platform to do this as a way to talk to someone without their phone number showing up when they text or call.

1. Snapchat

Like Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, Snapchat is a common app people use to connect with others. Many people use Snapchat for fun filters or to communicate with friends, so if your partner doesn't show any other signs of cheating, there's no need to be worried about them having Snapchat on their phone. That said, if a person is going to cheat, they might use Snapchat to their advantage. Snapchat leaves no trace of personal messages, videos, and photos after they're opened, making it easy for a cheater to avoid getting caught.

Other Ways That People Cheat

One way that people cheat is by having another phone line. If you have an extra phone line, you can get away with talking to a person on the side more easily. The bottom line is that there are so many ways for a person to hide what they're doing, and although technology is an incredible thing that has done so much good for the modern world, apps make it easier than ever to cheat without anyone finding out. If you suspect that your partner is having an affair using an app, here are some things that you can do:

Confront Them

Confrontation isn't easy for some people. It can be nerve-wracking to face the fact that your partner is unfaithful. When you suspect that someone is cheating and have evidence to back it up, it's wise to confront them about it as long as you feel safe in the situation. If your partner has been abusive in any way, including verbal, emotional, mental, physical, or sexual abuse, the critical thing to do is prioritize your wellbeing. If you don't feel safe talking about infidelity, don't risk your health. Talk to a licensed therapist if you're not sure how to handle the news that your partner has been unfaithful. A mental health professional can guide you through this process. If you are at risk of harm, reach out immediately to domestic violence services in your local area.

Go To Couples Therapy

You likely sense that your spouse is using an affair app to cheat on you if you're reading this. Whether or not that's the case, your feelings are likely symbolic of some relationship issues that need to be dealt with. Couples therapy is a safe place to talk with your partner about issues in your relationship with a licensed mental health professional present. It can save marriages, or it can help you split peacefully. If you're not ready to bring it up with your partner or you're afraid to do so, you might consider seeking the help of an individual counselor who can help you take a look at the situation and potentially prepare you to confront your partner or bring up the idea of couples counseling.

Why Are They Cheating? Getting Help

If you find that your partner is having an affair, it's crucial to understand that it's not your fault. You didn't cause them to stray outside of the relationship. Discovering that they've been unfaithful is devastating, often shocking, and something that no one deserves to experience. If you're the one who's cheating, the most critical question to ask yourself is: why are you stepping outside of your relationship to cheat? One of the most common reasons people cheat is that they're hesitant to end a long-term relationship. As a result, they engage in triangulation and bring another person into the relationship to cause the breakup. The behavior is due to fear of confrontation. If you're afraid to end a relationship, there is something that can help, and that's couples' therapy. Online therapy is an excellent place to work through issues related to relationships and infidelity. At ReGain, you can talk to an individual counselor or find a couples' counselor for you and your spouse to work with together. Every situation is unique, and a licensed mental health professional will help you look at things objectively so that you can find the best outcome for your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What apps do cheaters use? 

Many dating sites and cheating apps help people either find a person interested in having an affair or help hide their cheating behaviors. Having a private message app or texting app is one of the most commonly used mobile apps amongst cheaters. Some of the more common apps are:

• Ashley Madison
• Nude 
• SpSoft Applock
• Tinder

You can easily search the app store on your phone for the best apps for cheating and come up with dozens. Whether you are looking for a texting app, messaging apps, or an app that hides your online behavior, there is one for every situation. The best apps available are both those that are at the top of the list when you search the app store or mid-range, as they are less commonly known affair dating apps or cheating apps. That means that if your partner suspects you are having an affair, they may not pick up on the app's name if it is less commonly known. 

Is there fuel for cheaters?

Tinder, in itself, is often used as an affair dating site, but it is also one of the best apps for dating. Sites like Tinder are often called “hookup sites.” While not everyone on Tinder is looking to have an affair, legitimate people seek love and romance; it is a common cheating app.   

Is Kik a cheating app? 

While Kik was not designed to be a cheating app, many people post photos and videos of themselves or link to a private page with more intimate information. 

How do I find an affair online? 

If you are searching for someone to have an affair with, the best apps you can use are dating site apps. You can use apps purchases that offer more discretion; they may even have a generic name so that prying eyes on your phone do not know that it is a cheating app. 

Why do people cheat on people they love? 

Some people have unfulfilled needs that they cannot or do not get at home. Sometimes the person they end up cheating with listens to them or offers good conversation. Other times affairs are purely sexual and fill a void in their marriage. 

How can I track my husband's cell phone without him knowing and for free? 

You could use a spying app or spy app that you can download on your husband’s phone without him knowing you are tracking him. Many parents use a spy app on their kids' phones to ensure they are not going places they should not be. When you download a spy app, it will ping your phone if there is the movement of the person whose phone you downloaded it on, or you can watch his movements on your device. While the best apps are paid apps or require app purchases, some have at least a free component for basic use. 

What hidden apps do cheaters use? 

Hidden apps that cheaters use are some of the best apps for affair partners to find each other. While a spy app can give your location or online behavior away, hidden cheating apps can help you try to hide your desire to find someone to hook up with privately. 

Apple users can search cheating apps and get a list of many apps to find someone to date or hook up with. Some apps give you a new phone number so that you can hide your real number from someone you had an affair with; hiding an affair works in both directions sometimes. 

The app Vault and Vaulty Stocks can hide pictures of your secret lover or lovers. Vaulty Stocks are used to storing photos and videos outside of your phone's photo roll. 

Where do cheaters meet up? 

Cheaters meet up wherever is convenient for both parties to do so. There are messaging apps that are used to pick a time and place for a hookup.

What is the best app to catch a cheating spouse? 

If your partner’s phone is password protected, installing a spy app onto the device is harder. However, it is not impossible to get a spy app on there without him knowing. Phones with fingerprint unlock can be opened if you are careful to get their hand while they sleep. Then you can download the spy app and know what they are doing when you are not around. 

Some of the best spy apps are:

• Spyera
• TheOneSpy
• FlexiSpy
• mSpy
• Highster Mobile

Is Snapchat used for cheating?

Snapchat can be used for cheating since whatever you post, or snap, is deleted either as soon as it is viewed or within two minutes of viewing. So, it is very easy to use Snapchat for cheating purposes.

Look, affairs are bad and they will eat away at your soul. They will hurt your loved ones, your reputation, and everyone around you.

However, if you’ve decided to have an affair, no one will stop you from doing it.

If you are going to have an affair or are sleep with random people behind your partner's back, you might as well do it in a way that minimizes damage to your love life. That's where cheating apps come in.

But there’s more.

As a matter of fact, I will not just tell you – as everyone does – what chat apps do cheaters use, but I will also share with you some of the best techniques you can use to find out if your partner is actually being faithful.  These techniques are 100% working and I tested them myself before sharing them with you.

Hello! It’s Frankie here again. If this is your first time on my blog let me introduce myself: I’m an instant messaging app expert and I”ve been studying and practicing all sorts of ethical hacking techniques applied to chat apps for several years.

But back to us.

Unfortunately, it is a common thing for people in relationships to cheat these days.

It is sad but true.

Recent statistics are even less encouraging, proposing that in a third of marriages one or both partners admit to cheating. If you are interested in data, I will share with you the research conducted by the Institute for Family Studies.

If you want to know how so many people can get by with their cheating, you have come to the right place.

Why?

Here you can discover the kind of Android and iPhone apps they download to avoid suspicions and learn their secrets firsthand.

That’s right, all of their secrets.

Also, you can expect a comprehensive list of the most used infidelity apps so you can keep a secret (though it is more honest to break up) or to catch your wife/husband or significant other red handed. In this regard I would suggest you to have a look at my guides on how to catch cheaters using WhatsApp or through Facebook.

Technology, specifically smartphones, have made it harder and easier to cheat all at the same time.

While this might seem contradictory, it still remains the truth.

For starters, phones tend to leave a trail of communication between cheater and lover. At the same time, certain apps make it easier than ever to conceal these communications from everyone they know.

Ready to find out a little more, let’s dive right in.

Various Apps For Different Kinds of Cheaters

First, you have to get inside the mind of the cheater.

I’m sure this is not especially difficult to do.

One of their primary concerns is keeping their illicit conversations private and away from the eyes of their committed partner, correct?

Many messages to cover up including regular messages regarding times and places to meet, suggestive material and even sexting messages.

But that is not the worst of it.

No, the worst of it is the images and videos, which at times can be downright out incriminating. Imagine such sensitive material ending up in a divorce lawyer’s hand. Unfortunately or fortunately, apps address all kinds of secret communications that need to transpire.

First you have to consider what kind of cheater you are, or believe your partner to be.

Yes, you read that correctly!

A cheater is not just a cheater. There are serial cheaters, professional cheaters and even the occasional infidelity.

As with any field of expertise, some tools are meant for professionals while others offer simplicity to newbies.

First, let’s see the arsenal in use by serial and occasional cheaters.

Messaging Apps For Serial Cheaters

Let’s summon up the supposed traits of a serial cheater.

He/She is a solitary hunter. Much like a jaguar, they constantly hunt for prey but never take action with the herd. They do not trust people.

They are going to operate based on a calculated plan, leaving nothing to chance.

They will operate under the guise of darkness. They choose weapons carefully and never operate unless there is zero risk of getting caught.

Want to know the best/worst part?

Serial cheaters have two or more affairs at once, working to keep their respective relationships apart to avoid getting caught by either.

Let’s take a look at the apps popular for serial cheaters.

These apps can hide messages or delete them as soon as they are sent from a phone. Below are the must have apps of the aspiring or current serial cheater:

1. Viber 

This 3rd party messaging application is available on all major devices. On the outside, it looks like a harmless messaging app, yet in the hands of an informed user, it is a sneaky application for affairs to occur.

Here are some of its features:

Secret Chats – Viber allows you to create secret conversations. The messages in this conversation delete automatically after a certain length of time, say 1-5 minutes. This gives you the freedom to send even the most incriminating of messages, images and video, because within a few minutes it no longer exists anywhere.

Hidden Chats – Viber also allows hidden chats to happen as well. For example, if your spouse picks up your phone and cycles through your chats, the affair will not be visible. Once you key in a pin, the chat appears within the main list, and you can pick up the conversation from where you left off.

2. Signal 

Another cheating application perfect for erasing communications. This also looks like an innocent third party messaging application but has features that make it ideal for affairs to happen.

Disappearing Messages – This deletes all messages and media sent or received from a specific designated user after an allotted amount of time.

You can activate it just for conversations with the lover and set a time interval as often as a minute, making it perfect for those with snoopy significant others.

3. Telegram 

This is also a popular choice. Most people, even those that are not cheating, use this application. It will not raise suspicions then, when you install it on your own phone.

The most recent versions of the app have features almost designed for cheating:

Autodestruct – You can set a countdown timer for the conversations you have with specific users.

Hidden Chats – Telegram gives you the option to have a secret conversation with any user. This will not be accessible to anyone, as it requires a pin to access.

Note: If you choose any of these applications, you can keep multiple affairs going simultaneously without any one person catching on to what you are doing.

Warning: There are other applications for keeping communications a secret or for helping those cheating to find new lovers. Fake Calculator and Vault-Hide are some examples. If you find them on your partner’s phone, it is cause for concern. I cover this in greater detail in my guide – which I believe you may find useful – about the most used secret messaging apps for cheaters.

How To Tell If Your Partner Is A Serial Cheater

If you are concerned there might be a third party to your relationship, your significant other’s phone is a good place to establish this truth.

If your spouse using one or both of these applications, specifically Viber and Signal, you should be a little curious as to what they are up to.

If their reasoning for installing the applications do not seem right, you should attempt to dig in a little farther.

One of the easiest methods to know with certainty is spyware like mSpy installed on their phone and you will have all of the answers you could possibly want and more.

Apps For The Occasional Cheater

Opportunity makes a thief, and that’s one of the truest statements that I know.

For some people, you might be faithful to a fault until an irresistible opportunity presents itself to you. Since your spouse does not likely suspect you of cheating, you need a quick and simple way to keep the suspicions at bay.

Below you can find a couple of the apps that occasional cheaters use to communicate with lovers:

1. WhatsApp 

This is a very simple messaging app that is incredibly popular by nearly all smartphone users. The benefit of this application is its use of end-to-end encryption.

This means that the data you divulge is fully secure and no one can access it unless they use your phone. So if you are cheating and your spouse never looks at your phone, it persists to be a good affair app to use. Bear in mind the possibility of he/she getting an intuition to check it out from time to time, though.

One of the best things that the cheater can do is to lockup the account with a password. This keeps anyone from accessing it from the phone, but it does not save you if spyware has been installed on your device.

About WhatsApp, you may also like:

2. Facebook Messenger 

Often betrayal begins on Facebook. An old classmate, gym partners and ex girlfriends/boyfriends.

Seems like everyone flirts on Facebook.

You start by liking a post innocently and end up chatting in the Messenger.

This is an excellent platform for cheaters who want to have private conversations. This for two reasons: the first is that your Messenger account is secured by password (and two-factor verification). The second is that you can use the Facebook Secret Chats feature to send secret messages to your mistress that are automatically destroyed after a given number of seconds (after being read of course).

It is easier than ever to send messages to anyone right from your phone.

So what’s the kicker?

It is hackable as well, and if your partner knows some tricks, you can imagine what happens.

3. iMessage 

This app is exclusively used by Apple users. It also offers end-to-end encryption which guarantees security for the conversation but can also get spied on with the right software.

Why would cheaters love it?

With iMessage, conversations can happen from iPads, Mac computers and iPhones alike. Of course the drawback is that the more places you converse with your lover, the more chances you have of getting caught.

4. Instagram Direct Message 

Instagram is a popular photo and media platform that can easily double as a great private communication channel. The app offers excellent cover as a social media platform, especially for ladies having an affair.

This is where a lot of cheaters go fishing for new lovers.

It is used by almost every cheater on the planet to find lovers but the difference between professionals and newbies is that they first move their conversations to apps like Signal or Viber instead.

5. Snapchat

A couple of years ago, even before Instagram, it was Snapchat who seduced cheaters (and not only them) around the world with its short videos, special effects and self-destructing messages.

Why is it one of the most popular cheating apps?

Mainly because of the option to send self-destructing messages. These messages can also be videos, so I let you imagine why it has been widely used by infidels.

Cheating Dating Apps Preferred By Both Serial And Occasional Cheaters

Dating apps are one of the best ways to build fleeting connections with people far from the cheater’s circle of friends.

Cheaters, both occasional and serial, know this well.

Internet is full of free and paid cheating dating apps. Below I will list the most used ones.

1. Tinder

Tinder is arguably the most famous cheating dating app in the world. Extremely user-friendly, allows the user to browse the photos uploaded by people who are geographically close to each other.

Just create a profile using Facebook login or from scratch, upload 4 photos, add a description and select the people you like.

Each profile is presented with photos, to which the user can decide whether to assign a sign of appreciation (a little heart) or skip it by simply scrolling with a finger. All this while you are on the subway, at the dentist, queuing at the checkout or on the couch.

When the two people show interest in each other, then the match will start and they can start chatting, go to WhatsApp or maybe decide to meet in person.

2. Bumble

Quite similar to Tinder because of the scrolling search, Bumble has a distinctive feature: it is the female part that is in charge of the game.

This is why it is considered the perfect dating app for women.

On Bumble only women can take the initiative, starting conversations, except in the case of same-sex couples (you can change your preferences from your settings) or people you are friends with on Facebook.

The app is free and currently available for Android, iPad and iPhone devices with iOS 8 or later versions. There is no version for Windows devices. Once installed you can log in via Facebook (from which you get your profile photos and info such as age, date of birth and education), but you must be at least 17 years old to use it.

3. Lovoo

An app that is very popular among cheaters because it offers the possibility to get in touch with people who live in the area.

The way it works is very similar to Instagram: you can see a number of photos and show your appreciation.

To find the people near you, all you have to do is activate the radar feature, which will show photos of men or women who are close to you.

Once you find the right person, through the chat service, you can start to get to know them better and see if they live up to our expectations.

4. Ashley Madison

Ashley Madison gets it straight in its welcome page: “Life is short. Have an affair“, stating that the service is intended for adults and that it is “the best known dating agency outside of marriage“.

Besides North America, the service is active in many other countries of the world, whilst it has been banned in Shanghai (China) because it is against family values and because it promotes adultery.

From the welcome screen of the site you have to say if you are a man or a woman, if you currently have a relationship and the type of partner you are looking for.

The main difference compared to other dating sites is that in the case of Ashley Madison there is explicit mention of people already in a relationship who want to cheat on their partner.

5. Grindr

One of the most popular dating apps used by gay cheaters is Grindr, which is based on location. To start using it you have to subscribe by filling out the form with your email address, password and date of birth, insert a profile photo and then start searching for members near you on the map.

During the creation of the profile you can enter your preferences from the “I’m looking for” entry in order to help the algorithm to show you the people closest to you.

Grindr is very simple and user-friendly, and is available for both iOS and Android from the respective app stores.

Just browse user profiles and scroll through their photos to see if they might be interesting and decide to start a chat. You can send text messages, photos, audio notes, stickers and even your location, just like WhatsApp.

How to Catch Your Partner Cheating

This, in my opinion, is the most interesting part of my guide.

Please pay attention because in a very short time you will possess the tools you need to find out if your partner is cheating on you.

You might be surprised at home many ways there are to catch a spouse cheating, though most of them involve spying on their phone to get the answers you want.

Smartphones have taken considerable strides to make life easier, but they have also ruined it completely in other areas.

Now, everything leaves a trail. Calls, text messages, online transactions and more can all get traced back to the sender.

For those suspected of cheating, here are the best ways of tracing these activities.

1. Google Location History

Few people know that if you have a Gmail account, whenever you location is on with your phone, your phone is keeping a detailed record of all the places you go.

The restaurants, shoddy motels, and other locations all get added and tracked by the phone.

You can actually easily access this data from other devices where this same user stays signed in (like the home computer). You can click on this link on that device or you can google “view your location history in Google Maps.”

It should go without saying that you need to investigate more if you intend to catch your husband or wife red-handed, but this is a good place to start.

I wrote a detailed guide on how to use GPS to find a cheater’s location. Check it out!

2. Hack a Cheater’s Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp

As I have already explained, every messaging app that runs on Android or iOS devices is hackable.

Messenger and WhatsApp in particular are readily hackable.

You can find proof of an affair even if these are not the most favored apps of your cheating partner by hacking one of these options.

Actually, being one of the most popular messaging apps on the planet, there must be compromising messages between either trusted friends or the actual lover.

In different articles, I have explained in great detail how to spy on WhatsApp or how to hack Facebook.

3. mSpy Tracker

This is the perfect spying app to catch cheating spouses. Not surprisingly, many wives use this app to catch the underhanded actions of their untrustworthy husbands.

There is nothing that you cannot use this application and software to spy on, whether it is an iPhone or Android.

There is nothing that you cannot use this application and software to spy on, whether it is an iPhone, an Android, a Mac, PC, or whatever device the cheater uses.

The acquisition of mSpy includes all of these incredible features:

• Location Tracking
• Reviewing Call Logs
• Access to All Text Messages
• Access to All Messaging Apps (WhatsApp, Messenger, iMessage etc.)
• Email Access
• Viewing All Photos and Videos Stored on Phone
• All Installed Apps (Including hidden cheating apps for iPhone and cheaters app for Android for hookups and dating)
• Internet History and Activity (Including Hidden Dating Sites)
• And more and more…

From a safe and undetectable position, you can see literally everything that your partner is doing on their phone.

This is both amazing and scary – all at the same time.

You can install this application on the target phone, and then link the information to yours. You can learn more about installation in this guide I have written: Step-by-Step Guide to mSpy. You will also find a 25% discount voucher (it’s a gift reserved for readers of my blog).

Once you have done this, you are guaranteed to get the answers you seek and all of the information about what your partner is up to.

In short, when you are planning to bring another person into your relationship, you should prepare for this with the best applications designed to keep communication private.

The third-party messaging apps mentioned above are a good place to begin. They can help you to eliminate your incriminating trail of messaging breadcrumbs.

If you are on the other side of things, trying to catch a cheater in their tracks, you can always find the information you seek somewhere on their phone. You can find the trail of evidence and even look at their location history for more concrete evidence.

4. Steal passwords of their Social accounts

If you want to catch your partner red-handed, you might consider stealing their Facebook account passwords, Instagram or any other app they’re using to cheat you.

Stealing passwords is possible but not easy.

The most used technique is the one called Phishing. It is used by professional hackers for confidential and sensitive information such as username, password, or credit card information.

The favorite technique to perform a phishing attack is to send normal emails that look and feel very similar to those found on legitimate websites such as banks or Facebook.

I won’t delve into the details of how you could use it to steal your partner’s passwords because I’ll talk about it extensively in another article. Take a look at it.

5. BONUS TRICK: Psychological tricks to make your wife or husband confess

One of my favorite methods to make someone confess are psychological ones supported by some technological tool.

Nobody ever thinks about it but the easiest thing to hack is the human mind.

Yup, everything can be hacked!

Just think that there is a scientific branch, known as social engineering, that looks after all those techniques that can trick the mind of others and make them do what they want us to do.

I have written two great guides that help you find out if your wife is cheating on you or if your husband is being unfaithful. Among the many ways to catch the cheater red-handed, there are also those related to social engineering. Check them out.

But wait! 

Since you need to confront your partner with this technique, before making any reckless moves and risking making a bad impression by accusing them of cheating, watch out for certain signals.

I am talking about some unequivocal signals to understand if your partner is cheating on you.

The most glaring are:

• They always hold their mobile at hand and won’t lend it to you for any reason
• Cares more about their appearance
• They’re always defensive and make excuses for everything
• They accuse you of cheating if you try to speak up

Conclusion

Now we have finally reached the end of this lengthy guide. I hope that you have found one or more of the answers that you have been seeking.

I think it is important to give you a short recap, though, in case you missed anything.

Apple and Google’s stores are both brimming with messaging apps. There are options to suit every taste.

There are some apps that those who cheat prefer to use over others. In this guide, I have shown you all of them and split them up based on the type of cheater that might benefit the most from using it.

In the first part of the guide I analyzed apps used by Serial Cheaters such as Viber, Signal, and Telegram. They are the safest messaging apps to speak with your lover. Among their various features, they allow you to create messages that self-destruct and chats that are protected by a password.

The second part of the guide listed apps used by Occasional Cheaters. These don’t require as much espionage, so they usually just use WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, iMessage, and Instagram Direct. These are the most commonly used messaging apps.

I also took a moment to tell you the 3 best techniques to catch cheating red-handed.

However, if you have any doubts or questions, or you’ve found that there’s an app on your partner’s phone that isn’t mentioned among these and you want to know more, leave a comment on the post or put follow on my Instagram profile and contact me. I’ll be happy to help you out.

With love,

A couple of decades ago you knew your mistress wanted you to come over when your phone would ring twice and then fall silent. The song “Knock Three Times” tells the story of a man asking a neighboring woman to respond to his interest by either knocking three times on her ceiling (yes) or by banging twice on her pipes (no). But these days engaging in adultery has become quite a bit simpler, with far less to decode. With technology at our fingertips, those slime-ball cheaters can access their secondary lovers in secret.The following sneaky sites and cell phone apps help them do so:

1. Vaulty Stocks:

Super-trashy but totally genius, Vaulty Stocks has the appearance of any other boring stocks application upon first glance. But this sneaky application is used for much steamier purposes than tracking what’s going on on Wall Street. It’s design is meant to throw spouses off the trail of infidelity, and keeps private, racy pictures and videos in a hidden vault within the app, far away from prying eyes. It’s almost foolproof – but if a ditzy blonde’s husband notices that she has suddenly taken an interest in the stock market, he might get suspicious.

2. Ashley Madison:

With a whopping 19 million members in 25 countries around the world, Ashley Madison bills itself as the “most successful website for finding affairs and cheating partners.” Their slogan, “Life is short. Have an affair,” says it all. Founder and CEO Noel Biderman claims not to encourage affairs, but to facilitate a platform for affairs that would have occurred regardless of circumstances – instead of having a workplace fling in which a person could lose his or her job, Ashley Madison has created a “safer” way to cheat. Most media has accused Biderman of compartmentalizing aspects of marriage and of being desensitized to the consequences of infidelity.

3. Slydial:

This app doesn’t blatantly state that aiding in infidelity is its’ primary purpose, but the name says it all. The Slydial mobile app is designed to let users directly call somebody’s voicemail instead of letting the phone ring and chancing the husband or wife sneaking a peek at who the caller is. A mistress (or mister) can call the voicemail directly to plan their next hush-hush date.

4. CATE:

Call And Text Eraser (CATE) uses the slogans, “Save your marriage – everyone deserves privacy” and “Love is blind, we keep it that way,” to promote its cell phone application. In order to keep phone calls and text messages between lovers hidden from spying spouses, CATE keeps all communication between a cheater and his/her lover stored in one log that can be erased with the click of a button. If a spouse walks in while the app or log is open, or if the phone is idle, those naughty messages will immediately vanish.

5. Meet2Cheat

A niche dating site for cheaters that encourages “high-class affairs,” meet2cheat facilitates the introduction of people in relationships who want to have affairs. The site also provides opportunities for couples to find other couples to “swing” with. Unlike most other cheaters’ dating sites, meet2cheat’s users are primarily women, perhaps because women get total site access for free, while men need to pay for their services.

6.  Mobile Vault:

“Protect your Privacy. Vault it!” Similar to most of these other applications, the Mobile Vault app hides pictures, videos and contact shared between spouses and their lovers. But this one does even more. Mobile Vault creates a private cloud that backs up all of this data so that, in the case that a user loses their phone, the information is backed up in the cloud. Even more, if a person tries to break into the app by using an incorrect password, Mobile Vault will take a snapshot of the spy.
