Simple Wi-Fi hack allows 'super snoopers' to see if partner's cheating on them
If you feel like you and your partner are losing your connection, then one TikTok super sleuth has found a simple way to find out if they’re cheating by re-adjusting your Wi-Fi connection instead.
The tech trick, which has taken TikTok by storm, allows 'super snoopers' to see first hand their partner’s internet usage and online platform preferences, however the original poster claims she first found out about the Wi-Fi hack purely by chance: “I did this on accident, I didn’t even mean to do it,” said Abby Paige, who posts about the trials and tribulations of relationships on her account.
In her original TikTok post on how to catch a cheat, she posted a video captioned: “When their phone is always hidden, but they’re connected to your Wi-Fi.”
500k views later and after being inundated with pleas from TikTokers desperate to know more, Paige was prompted to follow up with a ‘how-to’ video on how super sleuths can do the same from the comfort of their own homes.

After revealing she used Xfinity Wi-Fi she told how the service can be set up to reveal just what users are up to on your network, using the ‘Manage People’ feature on the affiliated app.
By tapping into this feature, individual profiles can be made for each user that can, to a certain extent, track their online habits via an ‘active time’ feature that offers relationship sleuths the truth on how long users were active for up to one week before.
Perhaps the most intriguing part for many, however, was that the app could show a user’s preferred platforms, such as Instagram or X, formally known as Twitter, alongside the hours they were connected and the times they were using it the most, with restrictions able to be placed via settings to limit users to a specific time of day or night. If a user tries to access the internet while they are ‘on pause’ they won’t be able to.
However an Xfinity blog post confirmed that there was no way to track a user’s history other than via their computer, where a complete browsing history can be accessed: “The only way to see your complete browsing history would be through the ‘History’ or ‘Security’ settings tab on the individual browsers used.," they said.
