How much discretion do you trust people in your immediate environment? Who is curious and who is not? Hard to say. However, a survey shows that one should not take the chance.

Berlin – opportunity makes thieves. If you unlock your smartphone or leave it lying around without a screen lock set up, you risk prying eyes. This is shown by a survey by Bitkom Research.

According to this, 41 percent of those surveyed aged 16 and over stated that they had secretly taken the smartphone of someone they knew to snoop around in it.

Few sniff regularly

Of these, comparatively few people regularly (5 percent) or more frequently (5 percent) act as snoopers. According to their own statements, 17 percent rarely do it, and 14 percent have so far only done it as a snooping operation.

After all, almost half of those surveyed (48 percent) said they had never looked at other people’s smartphones. And 11 percent did not want to provide any information on the subject.

Friends are scouted most often

According to the study, friends are the most common victims of snooping (53 percent), followed by family members (33 percent) and the partner (15 percent). But colleagues (8 percent) are not safe either. 1014 people aged 16 and over were interviewed. dpa
