What is the code to see if your phone is hacked?
Use the code *#21# to see if hackers track your phone with malicious intent. You can also use this code to verify if your calls, messages, or other data are being diverted.
Does *# 21 tell you if your phone is tapped?
Our ruling: False. We rate the claim that dialing *#21# on an iPhone or Android device reveals if a phone has been tapped FALSE because it is not supported by our research.
What does ## 002 do to your phone?
##002# - If your voice call or data call, or SMS call has been forwarded, dialling this USSD code will erase them. *#21# - By dialling this USSD code, you would get to know if your calls have been diverted somewhere else or not.
Can I scan my phone for hackers?
Scan your device using Play Protect: First, try the Google Play Protect scanner built directly into the Play Store. Open Google Play and tap on your profile image at the top of the page. Then, go to Play Protect halfway down the screen and tap Scan to start scanning your phone and apps.
