Apps Cheaters Use in 2026: The Complete Exposé

You have a gut feeling something is off. Late-night phone sessions, sudden password changes, and a partner who tilts their screen away every time you walk into the room. Your instinct is probably right. Research shows that roughly 20% of men and 13% of women admit to extramarital sex — and those numbers only count the people willing to confess. The apps cheaters use have evolved far beyond simple dating profiles. They now include encrypted messengers, self-destructing chats, phone-number generators, GPS spoofers, and apps that disguise themselves as calculators.

This guide breaks down every category of app that enables infidelity in 2026. You will learn exactly what each app does, how cheaters exploit its features, what the icon looks like on a phone, and the telltale signs that give them away.

If you suspect something, knowledge is your first line of defense. Here is every app you need to know about — organized by category so you can scan a phone screen in minutes.

Dating and Affair Apps: Built for Cheating

Some apps exist specifically to help married or committed people find extramarital partners. These are not standard dating apps repurposed for affairs. They were built from the ground up with secrecy in mind.

Ashley Madison

Ashley Madison is the most recognized affair platform in the world. It has accumulated over 80 million member accounts since launching in 2002 and reportedly adds around 15,000 new users every single day.

How cheaters use it: The app lets users blur or mask their face in profile photos. Women can browse and message for free, while men purchase credits. Profiles can be hidden from search results, and the app offers a "Traveling Man" feature that lets users connect with people in a city before they arrive — perfect for someone planning a business trip affair.

What the icon looks like: A stylized green gemstone on a dark background, sometimes just the letters "AM."

What to look for: Check app purchase histories for Ashley Madison credits. Look for the icon buried deep inside folders labeled something generic like "Utilities" or "Work." The app also sends email confirmations to the address used at sign-up, so an unfamiliar email account is another red flag.

Gleeden

Gleeden bills itself as the first extramarital dating app designed by women. It has over 12 million members worldwide and is especially popular in Europe and India.

How cheaters use it: Photos stay blurred until a user decides to reveal them. The platform blocks screenshots, so profiles and messages cannot be captured and used as evidence. It is free for women, while men pay through a credit system.

What the icon looks like: A red apple with a bite taken from it — a nod to the forbidden fruit.

What to look for: Gleeden's screenshot-blocking feature means that even if you access the app, capturing proof is difficult. Look for the icon itself or check browser history for gleeden.com.

Victoria Milan

Victoria Milan operates in North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia with more than 5 million members. Its entire brand revolves around discretion for attached people.

How cheaters use it: The platform includes a "panic button" that instantly redirects the screen to an innocent-looking website if someone walks in. Profile photos can be blurred. A team reviews every new registration to ensure members do not accidentally reveal identifying details.

What the icon looks like: A stylized heart, often with a lipstick mark or similar feminine motif.

What to look for: The panic-button feature means catching someone on the app in real time is unlikely. Search the phone's app list or browser history for Victoria Milan.

Quick-Reference: Affair-Specific Apps

Mainstream Dating Apps Used for Affairs

Not every cheater downloads an affair-specific app. Many use the same dating apps single people use — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and others. These apps are easier to explain away and less suspicious at first glance.

Bumble is one of the most common platforms used for secret dating. If you need to check for a profile without signing up, see our guide on how to find someone on Bumble without an account.

Tinder

Tinder remains one of the most popular dating apps on the planet. Its swipe-based interface is quick, visual, and requires minimal effort to set up a profile.

How cheaters use it: A cheater can create a profile with minimal information, skip linking social media, and turn off the "Show me on Tinder" toggle to hide from discovery while still browsing. Some use fake names and photos. Tinder's "Passport" feature lets users match with people in other cities — useful for someone planning an affair while traveling.

What the icon looks like: A white flame icon on a gradient background that shifts from orange to pink.

What to look for: The Tinder flame is widely recognized, so cheaters often bury it in a folder or delete and re-download the app between sessions. Check the App Store or Google Play purchase history for reinstallation patterns. You can also find out if your boyfriend is on Tinder using a dedicated search tool.

Bumble

Bumble functions similarly to Tinder but requires women to send the first message. It also has modes for friendship (Bumble BFF) and business networking (Bumble Bizz).

How cheaters use it: The BFF and Bizz modes give plausible cover. A cheater caught with Bumble installed can claim they use it for professional networking or finding friends. Meanwhile, their dating mode profile remains active. Bumble also lets users enable "Snooze Mode" to temporarily hide their profile.

What the icon looks like: A yellow hexagon with a white bee-like heart shape, or simply a yellow circle with white interior on newer versions.

What to look for: Ask which mode they use. If they claim Bumble Bizz or BFF, watch whether they become defensive or quickly close the app. Bumble profiles linked to phone numbers can also be searched through third-party tools.

Hinge

Hinge markets itself as the dating app "designed to be deleted" — suggesting it is for serious relationships. But that branding also makes it seem innocent on a partner's phone.

How cheaters use it: Hinge profiles require more personal detail (prompts, photos, personal answers), which paradoxically makes it easier for a cheater to form deep emotional connections quickly. The app does not have a "hide profile" toggle as easily accessible as Tinder's, but profiles can be paused.

What the icon looks like: A dark-toned "H" logo, stylized to look like it is made from a single line.

What to look for: Hinge sends notifications for "Most Compatible" matches and "Roses," which may appear on a lock screen. If you see notifications mentioning matches or likes, the app is active.

Other Mainstream Dating Apps to Watch

Encrypted and Disappearing-Message Apps

This is the category that makes catching a cheater hardest. These apps are designed to protect privacy, and cheaters exploit that design to erase every trace of their conversations.

Snapchat

Snapchat pioneered disappearing messages. Every photo and video ("Snap") vanishes after it is viewed — or after 24 hours if posted to a Story.

How cheaters use it: Messages delete automatically. Photos self-destruct. Even chat text disappears by default unless manually saved. Snapchat also offers a "My Eyes Only" section — a password-locked folder inside the app for saving private Snaps. If someone screenshots a Snap, the sender gets a notification, which adds another layer of anti-evidence protection.

What the icon looks like: A white ghost outline on a bright yellow background.

What to look for: Frequent Snapchat use, especially late at night. A high Snap Score (visible on their profile) that keeps climbing suggests heavy messaging. Check if they have "My Eyes Only" enabled by looking at their Memories tab. Snapchat also shows a "Best Friends" list — if an unfamiliar name appears there, it means they exchange Snaps with that person frequently.

Telegram

Telegram has become a favorite for cheaters because of its "Secret Chats" feature. These conversations use end-to-end encryption, do not sync across devices, and can be set to self-destruct on a timer ranging from one second to one week.

How cheaters use it: Beyond Secret Chats, Telegram lets users set a username instead of sharing their real phone number, organize conversations into custom folders (so affair-related chats can be isolated), and lock the app behind a separate passcode. Messages in Secret Chats cannot be forwarded, and Telegram notifies the sender if a screenshot is taken.

What the icon looks like: A white paper airplane inside a blue circle.

What to look for: Multiple Telegram folders, a separate app lock beyond the phone's own passcode, and frequent late-night notifications from the app. If your partner uses Telegram but none of their known friends or family do, that raises a question about who they are messaging.

Signal

Signal is often called the gold standard of secure messaging. Every message is end-to-end encrypted by default. It offers disappearing messages with timers from 30 seconds to four weeks, does not store metadata on its servers, and includes a screen-lock feature.

How cheaters use it: Signal's disappearing messages leave zero trace. Unlike Snapchat, Signal does not even notify the other party if a screenshot is taken, making it even harder to gather evidence. Call history within Signal is also encrypted and stored only on the device.

What the icon looks like: A white speech bubble with a blue outline, inside a blue rounded square.

What to look for: Signal is not a mainstream social app. Most people do not have it installed unless they have a specific reason to prioritize privacy. If your partner suddenly downloads Signal and cannot give a clear explanation for why, that alone is a warning sign. Check if the app has a separate passcode enabled.

WhatsApp

WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app globally. While it has always offered end-to-end encryption, recent feature additions have made it even more attractive for secrecy.

How cheaters use it: WhatsApp's "Chat Lock" feature lets users move specific conversations behind a password or biometric lock. These locked chats do not show previews in the main chat list and are only accessible through a secret code. Disappearing messages can also be turned on per conversation. In addition, WhatsApp allows users to create a secondary "Linked Device" session on another phone or computer.

What the icon looks like: A white phone handset inside a green speech bubble.

What to look for: Ask yourself: does your partner use WhatsApp with people who could just as easily text or call? Look for the locked-chats indicator (a small lock icon at the top of their chat list). If they are logged into WhatsApp Web or a linked device you do not recognize, someone else may also have access to their conversations — or they may be keeping a parallel session running.

Messaging App Comparison for Cheaters

Social Media Apps With Secret Messaging Features

Social media platforms are not built for cheating — but their direct-messaging features have become a fertile ground for affairs. These apps are already on almost every phone, which means they raise zero suspicion.

Instagram

Instagram's Direct Messages (DMs) have quietly become one of the most popular channels for starting and maintaining affairs.

How cheaters use it: Instagram's "Vanish Mode" makes messages disappear after they are read and the chat is closed. The "Close Friends" feature lets users share intimate Stories with a handpicked list — potentially excluding a partner. "Finsta" accounts (fake or secondary Instagram accounts) give cheaters an entirely separate identity that their partner may never know exists.

What the icon looks like: A gradient camera icon in pink, purple, and orange — widely recognized.

What to look for: Multiple Instagram accounts logged into the same phone. Frequent DM notifications from unfamiliar names. If your partner's phone shows the Instagram notification badge constantly but their public feed is quiet, they may be active in DMs. Check if Vanish Mode has been used by looking for the "You turned on vanish mode" system message in any conversation.

Facebook Messenger

Facebook Messenger offers "Secret Conversations" — end-to-end encrypted chats with a self-destruct timer. These chats do not appear in the regular Messenger inbox on other devices.

How cheaters use it: Secret Conversations are tied to a single device. They show a black lock icon instead of the sender's profile picture. Cheaters can maintain a normal Messenger presence with their partner while running secret conversations with someone else on the same app.

What the icon looks like: A blue or purple lightning-bolt speech bubble.

What to look for: Open Messenger and look for conversations with a small lock icon — these are encrypted Secret Conversations. If your partner has many of these, it is worth asking why. Also check Messenger's "Message Requests" folder, where messages from non-friends land.

X (Formerly Twitter)

X might not seem like a cheating app, but its DM system is completely private, has no read receipts by default, and supports photo and video sharing.

How cheaters use it: Anonymous or pseudonymous accounts are easy to create. DMs have no character limit. The platform does not notify the other party of screenshots. Many people maintain secondary X accounts that their partner does not know about.

What the icon looks like: A black "X" on a white background, or a white "X" on black depending on the phone's theme.

What to look for: Multiple X accounts logged in. Frequent notifications from DMs. Burner accounts with few followers and no public posts are common signs of a secret account used purely for private messaging.

Reddit

Reddit allows completely anonymous messaging. Users can create throwaway accounts in seconds with no email verification required.

How cheaters use it: Subreddits dedicated to affairs, hookups, and local connections make it easy to find willing partners. Reddit chat and direct messaging are private. Because the app is associated with news, hobbies, and forums, it is one of the least suspicious apps on a phone.

What the icon looks like: An orange circle with a white alien-face mascot (the "Snoo").

What to look for: Check their Reddit profile (if you know their username) for activity in relationship or hookup subreddits. Reddit's chat feature is separate from its DM inbox, and both can be used for private conversations.

Vault and Disguised Apps: Hiding in Plain Sight

These are the most deceptive apps a cheater can use. They look like ordinary, boring utilities — calculators, notes apps, or even stock tickers — but they contain hidden vaults protected by passwords or secret codes.

Vault apps are especially effective on iPhones because of how iOS handles app visibility. Our step-by-step guide explains how to find hidden dating apps on iPhone, including vault detection methods.

Calculator+ / Calculator Pro+ / Calculator Vault

This family of apps looks and functions exactly like a standard calculator. But when you enter a specific numeric code and press "equals," it unlocks a hidden vault.

How cheaters use it: Inside the vault, users can store photos, videos, contacts, messages, and even browser bookmarks — all invisible to anyone who opens the app expecting a normal calculator. Some versions even take a photo of anyone who enters the wrong passcode, alerting the cheater that someone tried to snoop.

What the icon looks like: A generic calculator icon — nearly identical to the phone's built-in calculator. That is the entire point.

What to look for: Two calculator apps on the same phone. Check the file size of any calculator app — a real calculator is under 10 MB, but a vault app is typically 30 MB or larger because it stores hidden data. Also look for the app in the App Store or Google Play to see its real name and description.

Private Photo Vault

Private Photo Vault does exactly what its name suggests — it locks photos and videos behind a PIN or biometric authentication. But unlike the calculator disguise, this one does not try to hide its purpose.

How cheaters use it: Intimate photos exchanged with an affair partner are stored here instead of the camera roll. The app offers a "decoy" password feature — entering one PIN shows a fake, innocent set of photos, while the real PIN reveals the actual hidden content.

What the icon looks like: A blue shield or camera icon with a lock overlay.

What to look for: The presence of this app is itself a red flag. Ask what photos need that level of protection. The decoy-password feature means even if you are shown the app's contents, you may be looking at the fake vault.

Vaulty

Vaulty disguises itself as a stock-market app while actually functioning as a private media vault.

How cheaters use it: Users store compromising photos and videos inside the app. Vaulty also takes a "mugshot" — a front-camera photo of anyone who enters the wrong password. This alerts the cheater that their partner tried to access it.

What the icon looks like: A stock-chart or financial-themed icon, making it look like a markets app.

What to look for: If your partner has no interest in the stock market but has what appears to be a financial app installed, open it and see if it asks for a password. Legitimate stock apps rarely require a PIN at launch.

NewsTalk

NewsTalk looks like a standard news-reading app but hides a full messaging system inside.

How cheaters use it: The app conceals messages, call logs, and notifications behind its news-reader interface. Unless you know the unlock code, you would never guess it is a communication tool.

What the icon looks like: A newspaper or generic news icon.

What to look for: Does your partner actually read news through this app? Open it and check — if it immediately asks for a passcode, that is abnormal for a news reader.

Vault App Warning Signs — Cheat Sheet

Burner Phone Number Apps

Burner phone apps give users a completely separate phone number — sometimes several — that operates through the internet. Calls and texts from these numbers never show up on a regular phone bill.

Hushed

Hushed has been available since 2013 and works in over 45 countries. It provides disposable phone numbers for calling and texting.

How cheaters use it: Hushed uses VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), so all communication routes through the internet rather than the cellular network. This means no record of calls or texts appears on the phone bill. On iPhones, Hushed can be configured so incoming calls look identical to regular phone calls — hiding the fact that a second number exists. Users can maintain multiple burner numbers simultaneously and delete them when a relationship or affair ends.

What the icon looks like: A teal speech-bubble icon with a "shh" finger gesture or the word "Hushed."

What to look for: Check the installed apps list for Hushed. Look for unexplained data usage spikes (VoIP calls use data). If your partner makes calls that do not appear in the phone's native call log, a burner app is likely responsible.

Burner

The Burner app operates similarly to Hushed. Users get a temporary phone number that can be discarded and replaced at any time.

How cheaters use it: Each burner number functions like a real number — it can send texts, make calls, and receive voicemails. When the affair ends or the number is compromised, the user simply "burns" it and creates a new one. The app also supports auto-reply messages and notification customization.

What the icon looks like: A flame icon, often orange or red, with the word "Burner."

What to look for: Any app with "burner" in the name is an immediate flag. But cheaters often rename app folders to hide it. Check under Settings > Apps (Android) or the App Library (iPhone) to see every installed app regardless of home-screen organization.

CoverMe

CoverMe combines a private phone number, encrypted messaging, a hidden vault, and a "shake to lock" panic feature all in one app.

How cheaters use it: The "shake to lock" feature logs the user out of the app instantly when the phone is shaken — useful when a partner walks into the room. CoverMe also has a decoy vault, similar to Private Photo Vault, that shows fake content when a secondary password is entered.

What the icon looks like: A shield icon or a speech-bubble with a lock.

What to look for: CoverMe offers so many cheating-friendly features that its mere presence is a serious red flag. The shake-to-lock feature means you may never catch the app open. Instead, look for it in the installed-apps list.

Burner App Comparison

Location Spoofing and GPS Faker Apps

When a partner shares their location through Find My Friends, Life360, or a similar app, a cheater needs a way to fake where they actually are. GPS spoofing apps do exactly that.

Fake GPS Location Spoofer

This Android app lets users set their phone's GPS to any coordinates in the world. It runs in the background, so every app that uses location data — including Life360, Find My, Snapchat's Snap Map, and dating apps — sees the faked location.

How cheaters use it: A cheater can set their GPS to show their workplace while they are actually across town. Dating apps like Tinder and Bumble use GPS for match proximity, so a cheater can also prevent matches from seeing their real location. Some spoofing apps include a "joystick" feature that simulates realistic movement along roads so the fake location does not look static and suspicious.

What the icon looks like: A green or blue location-pin icon, sometimes with an arrow or target overlay.

What to look for: On Android, check Settings > Developer Options > Mock Location App. If a GPS spoofing app is set as the mock location provider, the phone is broadcasting a fake position. Sudden GPS "glitches" — where their location jumps to an unexpected place and then returns — can also indicate spoofing.

iTools Virtual Location (iOS)

Spoofing GPS on an iPhone is harder than on Android because Apple restricts mock-location access. iTools is a desktop application that connects to an iPhone via USB and overrides its GPS signal.

How cheaters use it: The cheater connects their iPhone to a computer running iTools, sets a fake location, then disconnects. The iPhone continues reporting the spoofed coordinates until it is restarted. This makes it possible to fake a location for hours without the phone being connected to anything unusual.

What the icon looks like: iTools is a desktop program, so there is no icon on the phone. However, the phone's behavior changes — Find My or Life360 will show a location that does not match Wi-Fi network data.

What to look for: If your partner's shared location seems inconsistent with other data points — such as their car's GPS, credit card transactions, or Wi-Fi connections — GPS spoofing may be involved. Frequent phone restarts can also be a sign, since spoofed GPS resets when the phone reboots.

Location-Spoofing Red Flags

Secret Messaging Apps That Look Like Games

A newer class of cheating apps disguises messaging functionality behind game interfaces. Unless you actually play the game and discover the hidden features, these apps are almost impossible to detect.

Plato

Plato is a real gaming app that includes group games like pool, mini-golf, and card games. But it also has built-in private messaging.

How cheaters use it: The messaging feature is positioned as part of the gaming experience, so it does not raise suspicion. A cheater can claim they are playing pool with friends online while actually messaging an affair partner. The chat function is buried within the game interface.

What the icon looks like: A blue circle with a white geometric "P" design.

What to look for: Excessive time spent in what appears to be a casual gaming app. Check whether they are actually playing games or spending most of their time in the chat section.

Words With Friends

Words With Friends is a Scrabble-style game with a built-in chat system. It has been connected to multiple high-profile infidelity cases.

How cheaters use it: The in-game chat allows private, one-on-one messaging that is entirely contained within the game. Because it is a word game, it is one of the least suspicious apps on any phone. Users can initiate games with strangers, which creates an easy way to meet new people.

What the icon looks like: A green speech bubble with letter tiles.

What to look for: Are they playing with the same person repeatedly? Do they chat more than they play? The game tracks stats and active games, which can reveal patterns.

Other Game-Based Messaging Apps

How to Check a Phone for Cheating Apps

Knowing which apps exist is only half the battle. Here is how to actually find them on a device.

iPhone

1. Spotlight Search: Swipe down from the home screen and type the name of any suspicious app. Even apps hidden from the home screen appear in Spotlight results.
2. App Library: Swipe all the way to the right past the last home screen. The App Library shows every installed app organized by category.
3. Screen Time: Go to Settings > Screen Time > See All Activity. This shows every app used, how long it was open, and when it was accessed. Look for unfamiliar app names or heavy usage of messaging apps during unusual hours.
4. App Store Purchase History: Open the App Store, tap the profile icon, then "Purchased." This shows every app ever downloaded, including ones that have been deleted.
5. Storage Check: Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage. Sort by size. Vault apps disguised as calculators will be unusually large.

Android

1. App Drawer: Open the full app drawer to see every installed app. Unlike the home screen, apps cannot be hidden from the drawer without using a launcher that supports hiding.
2. Settings > Apps: Go to Settings > Apps > See All Apps. This is the definitive list of everything installed, including apps hidden from the home screen and drawer.
3. Digital Wellbeing: Go to Settings > Digital Wellbeing. This shows app usage data, including time spent and how many times each app was opened.
4. Google Play History: Open Google Play, tap the profile icon, then "Manage apps & device" > "Manage." Switch to the "Installed" tab to see everything currently on the device.
5. Developer Options: Go to Settings > About Phone > tap "Build Number" seven times to enable Developer Options. Then check Settings > Developer Options > Mock Location App to see if GPS spoofing is active.

The Multi-Platform Problem: Why Checking One App Is Not Enough

Cheaters rarely stick to a single platform. A typical affair might involve a dating app for initial contact, a messaging app for ongoing conversation, a burner number for phone calls, a vault app for storing photos, and a GPS spoofer to cover their location.

Hinge is often overlooked during searches, but it has unique privacy features that require specific techniques. See our guide on how to search for someone on Hinge.

Searching each platform manually is time-consuming and often fruitless if you do not know every username, email address, or phone number your partner uses. This is where multi-platform search tools become essential. Services like CheatScanX (a top Cheaterbuster alternative) aggregate results across dozens of platforms.

CheatScanX scans all of these platforms — and more — in a single search. Enter a name, email, or phone number and get results in minutes.

If you want a broader strategy beyond apps, our guide on how to catch a cheater covers behavioral signs, phone forensics, and conversation approaches.

Behavioral Signs That Go Beyond the Apps

Technology is only one piece of the puzzle. Even if you never find a suspicious app, certain behavioral patterns can signal infidelity.

Phone Behavior Changes

• New passcode or biometric lock they did not have before
• Phone always face-down on tables and counters
• Leaving the room to take calls that used to happen in front of you
• Charging the phone in a different room overnight
• Sudden "Do Not Disturb" usage during hours they used to be reachable

Digital Behavior Changes

• New email address you were not told about
• Increased data usage without an obvious explanation (VoIP calls, encrypted apps, and vault syncing all consume data)
• Browser history cleared frequently or set to private/incognito by default
• Notifications turned off for messaging apps or set to show no previews
• New social media accounts or suddenly becoming very protective of existing ones

Schedule and Routine Changes

• Working late more often with vague explanations
• New "friends" you have never met and who are not on social media
• Unexpected business trips or schedule changes
• Gym memberships or new hobbies that consume time away from home
• Grooming changes — sudden attention to appearance that was not there before

These behavioral red flags alone do not confirm infidelity. A tool like CheatScanX can help verify your suspicions discreetly. But when combined with the presence of apps from this list, they form a pattern that deserves a direct conversation or further investigation.

What to Do If You Find These Apps

Discovering a cheating app on your partner's phone is jarring. Here is how to handle it.

1. Document Everything First

Before confronting your partner, take screenshots or photos of the evidence with your own phone. Vault apps, burner numbers, and disappearing messages can be deleted in seconds. Once the evidence is gone, it is gone.

2. Do Not Tip Them Off

If your partner realizes you are suspicious, they will delete apps, switch to new platforms, or become more careful. Gather your evidence quietly before saying anything. Our complete guide on how to catch a cheater walks you through evidence collection step by step.

3. Use a Multi-Platform Search Tool

A single app on their phone is one data point. A search across dating platforms, social media, and public records paints the full picture. CheatScanX can run this type of cross-platform search using a name, email, or phone number.

4. Consider Professional Help

Whether you find proof or not, the emotional weight of suspicion is heavy. Couples counseling, individual therapy, or consulting a licensed private investigator are all legitimate next steps. Our about page explains how CheatScanX supports people in these situations, and our FAQ answers common questions about the process.

5. Know Your Legal Boundaries

Accessing someone else's phone, accounts, or private messages without their consent can have legal consequences depending on your jurisdiction. Evidence obtained illegally may not be admissible in court. Stick to information you can obtain through your own devices, shared accounts, or professional services.

Frequently Asked Questions
