WhatsApp chats obtained through spy app used as evidence in Divorce case: 5 simple ways to detect spy app installed on your phone
Representative Image (AP Photo/Kiichiro Sato, File) In a recent ruling in a Divorce case, the Madhya Pradesh High Court held that a wife's private WhatsApp chat can be allowed to be presented as evidence under Section 14 of the Family Court Act, 1984 even if they are obtained without her permission. In this case, the husband accessed his wife's private WhatsApp chat via a special app installed on her phone (likely a spy app) without her knowledge and found out that she was having an extra-marital affair. His lawyers decided to present this as evidence in the court and seek divorce on the grounds of cruelty and adultery. The wife's lawyers challenged this move and did not want her WhatsApp chats to be presented to the court, arguing that this action by the husband violated her right to privacy under Article 21 of Constitution of India and Sections 43, 66 and 72 of the Information Technology Act. The Madhya Pradesh High Court rejected this argument and said that even though the right to privacy has been recognized as a fundamental right, the same is not absolute and is subject to exceptions and limitations. Without going into the right or wrong of the judgement, here are 5 simple ways to detect if a spy app is installed on your smartphone. As there may also be cases where a spy app is installed to stalk or for other wrong purposes. Check for Unusual Behavior on your Smartphone Spy apps often consume significant resources, leading to noticeable changes in your phone's performance.

Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Click Here Undo * Battery Drain: If your battery is depleting faster than usual, even with normal usage, a spy app might be running in the background. Check your battery settings (Settings > Battery on iOS or Android) to see which apps are consuming the most power. * High Data Usage: Spy apps often send data to a remote server, increasing data consumption. Review your data usage in Settings > Network & Internet > Data Usage (Android) or Settings > Cellular (iOS). * Overheating: If your phone feels warm even when idle, it could indicate a hidden app working continuously. * Unusual Sounds or Activity: Hearing static or clicking sounds during calls or seeing apps open/close unexpectedly may suggest monitoring. Review Installed Apps Spy apps may disguise themselves as legitimate apps or hide entirely from your app drawer. To check: Android: Go to Settings > Apps > All Apps and look for unfamiliar apps. Names like 'System Service,' 'Device Health,' or generic terms may be suspicious. Check for apps with excessive permissions, such as access to your camera, microphone, or location, via Settings > Apps > Permissions. Enable 'Show system apps' in the app settings to check for hidden system-level apps. On iPhones On iPhones, apps are harder to hide due to Apple's strict ecosystem. Review all apps on your home screen or in Settings > General > iPhone Storage. Look for configuration profiles (Settings > General > VPN & Device Management) that might have been installed without your knowledge. If you spot an unfamiliar app, search its name online to verify its legitimacy. Avoid deleting suspicious apps immediately, as this could alert the installer. Check for Unauthorised Access or Accounts Spy apps may require an account to send collected data. Check for unfamiliar accounts or logins: Go to Settings > Accounts (Android) or Settings > Passwords (iOS) to review synced accounts. Look for unknown email accounts, cloud services, or messaging apps logged into your device. Check your email for suspicious login notifications or password reset requests. Inspect Permissions and Settings Spy apps often require extensive permissions to function. Review: App Permissions: On Android, go to Settings > Privacy > Permission Manager. On iOS, check Settings > Privacy to see which apps have access to your camera, microphone, or location. Accessibility Settings: Spy apps may exploit accessibility features to monitor your screen. Check Settings > Accessibility (Android) or Settings > Accessibility (iOS) for unfamiliar services. Unknown Sources: On Android, ensure 'Install unknown apps' is disabled (Settings > Apps > Special App Access > Install Unknown Apps). Monitor Network Activity Some spy apps communicate with remote servers. Use a network monitoring tool like Wireshark (advanced users) or check your Wi-Fi router's logs for unusual connections from your phone's IP address.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez gear up for the Venetian wedding of the year; here's how much it costs and other details
When the world's third-richest man decides to get married, it's not going to be a quiet affair. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and fiancée Lauren Sanchez are reportedly tying the knot in a three-day celebration in Venice, Italy. Bezos, 61, and Sanchez, 55, have both had previous marriages. Bezos was married to MacKenzie Scott from 1993 to 2019, and they share four children — including their eldest son, Preston — while the names of the other three remain private. Sanchez was married to talent agent Patrick Whitesell from 2005 to 2019, with whom she has two children, Ella and Evan. She also shares a son, Nikko, born in 2001, with former NFL player Tony Gonzalez. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Here's everything you need to know about what is already being dubbed as the 'wedding of the century'. A lavish wedding with a scenic view, and local outrage Bezos' wedding will take place from June 24 to 26, according to a spokesperson for the mayor of Venice who spoke to CNN. Around 200 high-profile guests are expected to attend the celebration on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore. As the locals rise up to protest against the tourist traffic this mega wedding will bring, what is even more surprising is the stance of the administration. According to Italian daily Il Gazzettino, Morris Ceron, director general of the Venice Council, actively campaigned to make it happen. 'Seven months ago, Domenico Dolce told me Bezos was getting married. I got to work to bring this marriage of the century to Venice — that's how it started,' Ceron told the local paper. The city even roped in designer Domenico Dolce of Dolce & Gabbana to help win over the couple. It is noteworthy to remember that the city has already sunk about 5.9 inches in the past century; therefore the increasing strain from large-scale events has only intensified public concern. About the wedding venue Moving on to the wedding details. The actual ceremony is expected to take place aboard Bezos' $500 million superyacht, Koru, which will anchor in the Venetian lagoon. Additionally, Koru will be accompanied by a support ship – an equally huge vessel called the Abeona. Furthermore, multiple grand venues across Venice will serve as the backdrop for wedding events. Cocktail receptions and celebrations are expected to take place at the Palazzo Pisani Moretta, a 15th-century palace on the Grand Canal, the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, a Renaissance masterpiece, and the iconic Hotel Excelsior on the Lido, which is an island that separates Venice's lagoon from the Adriatic Sea. E Koru and Abeona, Jeff Bezos's yachts, will be moored in Venice Who's on the guest list? While the full list is under wraps, it's expected to include celebrities, business leaders, philanthropists, and politicians from every corner of the world. The star-studded invite list is said to include British actor Orlando Bloom and his fiancée Katy Perry, along with Mick Jagger, Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Oprah Winfrey, Eva Longoria, and Leonardo DiCaprio. Fellow tech moguls Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg are also believed to be among those attending the multi-million-dollar affair. Where will the guests stay? Among the properties reportedly booked are the ultra-luxurious Aman Venice, nestled on the Grand Canal and known for its private gardens and Rococo interiors, as well as The Gritti Palace, Hotel Danieli, The St. Regis, and The Marriott. According to reports, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner will stay at the St. Regis, and even Donald Trump may make an appearance at the festivities. Expected entertainment Across the water on the island of Giudecca, the Belmond Cipriani is expected to host Lady Gaga, who is rumoured to be performing during the celebrations. Lady Gaga is rumoured to perform for the newlyweds Catering and more Local businesses are also cashing in. Rumour has it that Rosa Salva, Venice's oldest pastry shop, known for its traditional doughnut-shaped fishermen's biscuits dating back to 1876, is also contributing to the wedding festivities. According to reports, the bakery will prepare a selection of treats for guest goody bags, including buttery bussolà cookies and zaletti — a regional speciality made with cornmeal, raisins, and a hint of lemon zest. Furthermore, the overall decor for Bezos and Sanchez's upcoming wedding in Venice is reportedly being handled by London-based event planners Lanza & Baucina. Known for organising exclusive events, especially in Venice, the firm also designed Salma Hayek and François-Henri Pinault's lavish 2009 wedding, as noted by W magazine. Laguna B, a well-known artisanal glassmaker, will also allegedly be involved in the decor. The estimated total cost of the wedding According to one detailed estimate, as reported by the Telegraph, the total cost of the wedding could reach approximately $16 million (around £11.9 million). This extravagant figure reportedly includes as much as $1 million allocated for floral arrangements and venue décor, up to $3 million for wedding planning services, $2 million for renting out the historic locations, another $1 million for catering, and around $1.5 million for Sanchez's wardrobe over the course of the celebrations. Now this gives the Ambani wedding a run for its money.

Report: Public Sector Banks increase market share amid slower credit growth in FY25; regain lending dominance
This is an AI-generated image, used for representational purposes only. Public Sector Banks (PSBs) gained significant market share across lending segments and geographies in FY25 despite overall moderation in bank credit growth, a report by Union Bank of India has revealed. The shift was especially evident in working capital and demand loans, traditionally used by businesses for operational needs, as per news agency ANI. ' Credit growth slowed in FY25 yet PSBs gained market share vis-à-vis PVBs (Private Banks),' the report noted, adding that public sector lenders leveraged their balance sheets more effectively and cautiously, especially as private lenders saw reduced momentum. The Credit-Deposit (CD) ratio of private banks, though elevated due to an earlier credit push, sharply corrected in FY25, indicating a deceleration in fresh disbursements. In contrast, PSBs capitalised on regulatory tightening in the unsecured lending space, particularly targeting retail credit like housing loans, where they emerged as incremental leaders. The report also pointed out a shift in the sectoral distribution of credit. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Private banks, once dominant in retail disbursements, lost ground due to tighter regulations, allowing PSBs to step in. Remarkably, state-owned banks also posted stronger growth in industrial credit, a segment previously dominated by private lenders. On the geographic front, PSBs saw strong performance in rural and semi-urban areas. Over 60 per cent of incremental credit in semi-urban regions and a significant share in rural belts were secured by public banks. Even in urban and metro areas, where private banks traditionally dominated, PSBs reclaimed some ground lost in FY24. In terms of borrower segmentation, credit to individuals continued its upward trajectory, signalling robust retail banking strength, the report said. The report aligns with broader findings released earlier this month by Boston Consulting Group, which noted that the BFSI sector was undergoing a period of moderate credit growth and profitability pressure. The sector's Net Interest Margins are under pressure amid repo rate cuts and elevated CD ratios, which have intensified the race for low-cost deposits. Despite this, PSU banks posted a 26 per cent year-on-year growth in profit after tax (PAT), outperforming private banks' 8 per cent growth. Deposit growth remained healthy at 11 per cent year-on-year, reaching Rs 229.3 lakh crore, although CASA growth stayed muted. The overall banking sector reported a 12 per cent rise in total net advances and a 13 per cent increase in aggregate credit in FY25, signalling that PSBs' tactical shift and rural resurgence helped them outperform amid macroeconomic headwinds.
