The first iPhone was made in 2007, and today, a smartphone is the one thing that most of us have. In 2022, half of Americans said they can't imagine their lives without their smartphones, and 83% of adults keep their smartphones near them almost all the time during waking hours.
But it's not just our own smartphones we love: we're no strangers to snooping through other people's phones, too. When it comes to our partners, 19% of Americans admit they've gone through their SO's phone without permission.
What's on their phone can say a lot about a person and can even be a gateway to their innermost world. Sometimes, we take a peek and see something that surprises us – both in good and bad ways.
Recently, people shared the wildest and most wholesome things they've seen on someone else's phone when netizen @simplysamythings asked: "What's something you saw on someone's phone… that changed how you see them forever?"

My stepmom told my dad I was a devil spawn bc she would lie to him about “behaviors” so she got his attention and I didn’t. I was 10. I never spoke, made noise in the house, was afraid to even eat, and complied with every command because I was scared to get in trouble. I didn’t deserve that and it’ll forever hurt me deeply.
