How can you check your Android phone and or google account to see if you have been hacked into?

[Android Central Question]

My husband's Android phone recently has been displaying all of the information (contacts, etc.) From My Android phone. My husband's Android is also showing web addresses he has not visited. How could this happen? Both of our phones are on 1 account with MetroPCS. How or who could help us identify and fix this issue?

It's possible for your contacts and other info synced to your Google account to show on his phone if your Google account is signed in to it. So the first step is to make sure your Google account isn't signed in by going into the phone's settings > accounts section.

You can have both phones on a single account with the carrier, but you can have separate Google accounts for each phone so that your personal info isn't being shared between the phones.

That's exactly how we were set up however, a month ago his phone started collecting my contacts, and started showing calls I supposedly received. Some accurate and some not. Also, it said I had over 1000 contacts numerous were repeated over and over.

Do you have the same Google account on both phones?

Do you have the same Googpe account on both phones?

I'm assuming yes the way it looks

Welcome to Android Central! If you both share the same Google account, then you'll share the same contacts that have been uploaded to the Google account, and you'll also see each other's web history in Chrome. If either of you sign into a public computer's Chrome browser with your Google account and then forget to sign out, then every subsequent web search that other people do on that browser will be recorded to your Google account (until someone decides to log you out), so always remember to sign out on public computers!
