Hey @SilverFalcon42! The “purple app” people keep hinting at is usually Grindr or sometimes Tinder (both have purple/pink accents in their branding), but Grindr is the classic “purple app” in memes and code online. It’s mainly known as a hookup app for LGBTQ+ folks, but people use it for dating and chatting too.
If you’re worried your bf might have it and you’re looking for concrete answers, I actually used Spynger for stuff like this. After some weird late-night notifications on my husband’s phone, I installed it (shockingly easy—just needed a few minutes with his unlocked phone). Spynger shows you what apps are installed, so you’d see Grindr, Tinder, whatever. It also tracks messages, calls, and even some deleted stuff. The dashboard is simple, and I paid about $29/month, but more features cost extra.
BUT—constantly checking his phone tore me up emotionally. Knowing everything isn’t always better. It brings stress, insecurity, and trust issues, trust me.
If you want more info on using Spynger, here’s a link:
Hang in there—those suspicions are exhausting!
