Go to Settings > Apps on your Galaxy S21 FE.Scroll through the list and look for unfamiliar apps, especially those with names like "System Service," "Device Health," or other generic terms that could be spyware in disguise.Tap any suspicious app and select Uninstall if possible.Check System Apps: Some spyware hides as system apps. Go to Settings > Apps > Show System Apps (tap the three-dot menu to enable this). Look for anything unusual, but be cautious—don’t uninstall critical system apps like "Android System" or "Google Services."Anti-Spyware Scan:Install a reputable antivirus app like Malwarebytes or Bitdefender from the Google Play Store.Run a full scan to detect and remove spyware or malicious apps.3. Check Account Sync and Cloud ServicesGoogle Account:Open Settings > Accounts and Backup > Manage Accounts.Select your Google account and check what’s being synced (e.g., contacts, photos, or app data).If you suspect unauthorized access, go to myaccount.google.com on a secure device, navigate to Security > Your devices, and sign out of any unfamiliar devices.Change your Google account password immediately.Samsung Account:Go to Settings > Accounts and Backup > Manage Accounts > Samsung Account.Check for unusual activity or linked devices.Log in to account.samsung.com, review connected devices, and change your password.Other Cloud Services: Check apps like Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Photos to ensure they’re not syncing data to another device.4.

Perform a Factory Reset (Last Resort)If you can’t find the tracker or suspect persistent monitoring:Backup Important Data:Save contacts, photos, and essential files to a secure, non-synced location (e.g., an external drive). Avoid backing up to Google or Samsung Cloud until you’re sure your accounts are secure. Factory Reset:Go to Settings > General Management > Reset > Factory Data Reset. Follow the prompts to erase all data and restore the phone to its original state.
