Secret iPhone ‘spy trick’ lets you eavesdrop on people when you leave the room
Have you ever wanted to hear what people say about you when you walk out of the room? Well, you can if you have an iPhone.
A secret Apple feature lets you leave your device in a room and eavesdrop on people’s conversations, and it only takes a second to set up.
Secret iPhone ‘spy trick’
It’s called Live Listen, which turns your iPhone or iPad into a microphone that sends sound to your AirPods or Beats. It doesn’t work with any other wireless headphones.
The feature is designed to help you hear a conversation in a noisy area or someone speaking across the room. However, people have discovered it’s a great way to spy on others and listen in on conversations unknowingly.
All you have to do is connect your headphones, turn on the feature in settings and leave your device face down on a counter in the room. Then, you can walk away and listen to everything that’s happening through your headphones without anyone knowing.
A great place to use it is in office meetings. Just say you need to go to the bathroom and leave your phone on the table. No one will suspect anything!
