admitting to using their partner\u2019s phone to check their emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the privacy invasion didn\u2019t stop there, with 52% also checking their partner\u2019s social media and 51% looking at their partner\u2019s images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Men are more likely to check their partners&#8217; phones on a regular basis with 31% admitting to checking their phone often compared to just 15% of female respondents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With more than 60 million married couples in the U.S. in 2022 the potential scale of law-breaking is huge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5% of respondents felt uncomfortable or very uncomfortable with the idea of their partner looking at their phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is over 3 million married people who are not happy with their spouse looking at their phone, but the research suggests that the vast majority do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when relationships turn sour, consent that may have been considered to have previously been given shouldn\u2019t be taken for granted no
