I don't think it's necessary. If both are comfortable with it why not? But there could be some messages about something that were told to me in confidence and I wouldn't want someone else to read them or if you've a job with some confidential information which you keep on your phone.
Yeah, there shouldn't be any problem.
Those making excuses about privacy aren't really ready for a relationship.
They're just goats afraid to stay alone.
Relationship means, unification and you're one not two separate individuals.
If you want privacy, freedom, individual whims then be single cowards. Don't drag a person to entertain you.
Absolutely NO! There's thing called "personal space" and it should be respected! I hate gossipping (forcing your partner to tell you the lockscreen password is a form of gossipping) and I'd never ask them for their lockscreen code. I also expect the same courtesy from my partner. If he/she can't accept that, we won't have any future together for much longer.
I don't really have any issue with her having my code but she can't have it. Due to my job I have access to sensitive information that I have to protect from prying eyes and that includes her. If at any point she wanted to check my phone out I'd allow it under supervision, but I have never given anyone any need to have to check my phone. Relationships are built on trust and if that trust fails then the relationship has failed too.
"Should" - no. Can you? Yes. Depending on the couple and relationship, if the other person is comfortable with it, fine, but they also have a right to privacy. Doesn't "mean" they are necessarily hiding anything, just basic privacy (just like say if you didn't want a family member seeing your phone, doesn't mean you're "hiding" anything, it's just your basic privacy). Being a couple doesn't change that fact.
except for the fact that if your spouse dies than you will probably want to be able to gain access to their cell phone and accounts..
@Subarugirl I guess it would depend. Personally there's nothing on my phone anyone would need access to for anything. But I know some use it for everything also so? I don't trust the security of it so there's nothing on my phone that is of any use to anyone lol.
What about photos?
My phone has a very simple password and I couldn't care who has been on it or not, i rarely use it myself. My laptop she would know because she would want to use it tbf she would be able to create her own account so then she wouldn't need to know but I don't mind her using my account to do things on.
Don't matter to me.
I find it odd that a lot of people are making this into a trust exercise in which they trust their partner to have some private information. What about trusting your partner enough to share? I do agree that this decision is up to the couple on what will lead to harmony and happiness, but for me, if I don't feel like I have to keep something private from my partner, I have no issue giving the key to my private world.
I never use lock screen code. Like everyone is entitled to their privacy of course, but I don't see why a couple for example couldn't access each other phones if they wanted to. I could easily offer my phone to any partner I been with if I was together with them of course.
This is probably one of my biggest pet peeves and one of the biggest red flags. I have private conversations with rape victims about their trauma and many other things of a deeply intimate and private nature..
A phone is like a super diary for yourself as well. Weren't we all taught that people trying to read your diary are fucking nosy dicks?
My husband knows mine, he doesn't have one on his. Neither of us care. We don't go through each other's stuff.
However, when you start demanding to know it and digging for SOMETHING then there's a problem. That starts creating the paranoia dynamic that always works out great for everyone involved.
I have a code because my phone was stolen once, and I feel the need to keep it secure.
i don’t care if my girlfriend uses my phone or looks through it, etc. I have nothing to hide ,
However, no , she doesn’t have my code. she has no interest, and I have no interest knowing hers
If I think that I need access to your ducking phone then I don’t trust you and we shouldn’t be together… if I ever don’t trust you your first priority should be to prove your trust worthy was… if you feel offended by that then we will not get along.
So I shouldn’t want access and you should want to prove your trust.
This all works in reverse.
He gave them to me on his own.
I asked he why, cause it thought it was odd, and he replied, "I have nothing to hide, so I have no reason to be so secretive with my phone. You might see pron and messages from female friends, but that's about it."
I think I'm marrying a unicorn lol
Him* porn*
Yes, but that's my opinion. I have my boyfriend's password and he has mine. It's about trust and love. He's my best friend and I trust him like no one else in the world.
For me to trust you I have to trust you and build a relationship around that with love and loyalty.
But we don't go snooping through our phones, again there have to be trusted. I'm not that type of girl neither is he. I completely trust my man and he trusts me. (It depend on you and how you are in your relationship and the steps you take and how comfortable you are)
I believe that everyone has the right to their privacy, even if they are in a relationship. I don't want his code, nor do I want him to have mine. I also can't imagine him looking in my purse or me in his pocket. either you trust someone or you don't
Yap.
My boyfriend doesn’t even have a passcode.
I do, tho. My parents are nosey af, so I have to hide my stuff…lol
If he wanted the passcode, I am down to give it to him. I have nothing to hide. 🤷🏾♀️
What about deeply intimate and private conversations with your friends where they detail horrific trauma that they do not want anyone but you to know about?
@Juxtapose My friends already know I tell my boyfriend everything.
Somethings I do keep things to myself. The only reason I do that, is because I feel like it isn’t something they would like me to discuss with him…
But if it is stuff about their boyfriend, and school, I am tell him. 😂
I prefer for randoms NOT to know anything about me. What I tell people should be private but to each their own.
My husband changed his password to same as mine so that I can use it if I want to.
I am also like that. My phone doesn’t have anything that say if my phone got stolen even, I would get in trouble or feel anxious over.
i hand out my phone to my friends or fam members easily without worrying much
just wanted to mention this as I know not everyone will share this same way. Which is fine everyones different
My friend didn't have the passcode to his wife's phone, but she had her iphone linked to the mac so all her texts would go to the computer while she was on it. Well she forgot to disconnect her phone from the computer one day and started texting her friend about how she fucked 3 if the neighbors.
Yes of course you don’t know whenever y’all need the phone or you forget your phone by accident and she goes to the bathroom and it’s sitting right next to you and you have to make a phone call that’s probably a lack of trust as well I never lock my phone anyway
No, everyone is entitled to their privacy. If you are in a committed relationship there must be a level of trust.
