I read a post today where someone was advicing the youths not to marry someone who uses code to lock his or her phone to prevent his or her spouse from having an access to his or her messages, chats, etc.

He also believes that people who lock their phones with codes have something they hide from their spouse even though the spouse may know his or her phone unlock code. He further says we the youths should not marry someone who locks her phone with code.
I believe that not all people who lock their phones with codes have something they hide from their spouse but I still want to hear your opinion..what's your reason for locking your phone with a code?


Most of the new smart phone now due to the screen sensitivity. When ever I keep my fone unlock and place it inside my pocket. It's end up dialing people contact or moving my apps. So I started locking my phone.

My work email is on my phone. Before you can use work email on phone, you need a password. They even check the strength of the password and reject it if not strong enough. I passworded my backup phone to stop my son from playing games on it.

My phone is private and the reason I lock the screen is private too.

I don't lock my phones because I have nothing in them to hide.

Anyone one uses my phones. I only make sure I cancel all diverts or tappings once they return it.
The only thing I'd be careful to do now is lending strangers because I read of one case where the borrower(to make call) disappeared with her phone.

My woman can play politics with every pix on my phone, and she knows how to argue better than me, so I Bette avoid that argument because I don't touch her own phone unless she wants to show me something. And secondly I have got lot of clients contact on them, and their privacy is my concern. Finnaly, my woman and some creepy friends can transfer airtime for Africa. So am not locking my phone because am hidding something but because am protecting something . angry grin

Love Machine:
Some fake friends may extract some personal contents to blackmail you.There is one lady at my workplace who took her colleague phone and transfer some intimate conversation she had with the manager from her WhatsApp and shared to other staff.She did that because she had a misunderstanding with the manager.Moreover,the manager was also wooing the perpetrator.They almost sack the victim because our boss ask her if she truly had a romantic relationship with the manager.she said no.Unknown to her,the boss already have content of their messages.

How was the transfer made pls. cos the only way i know is too complicated for an average perwon
