    I just found My Knox on my BF's phone. According to the app's site "Samsung My Knox is a free security solution that provides greater separation between enterprise and personal data. In My Knox, you may create a container that only authorized personnel can access. All files and data are safely encrypted within the container. My Knox is a virtual Android environment within the mobile device complete with its own home screen, launcher, apps, and widgets."

    :-O

    Does that program come pre-installed? Are you sure he's using it? Be careful of jumping to conclusions and have a discussion with him and read his body language as he answers and try to determine if he's telling the truth. But that is good info for the rest of us to know about. We want people to get healthy, not create sneakier addicts.

    On a potentially direct note - I'm recovering. My 12 step journal and my personal journal are encrypted so that I can write what I'm thinking. It is possible there's non-porn on there. I also have encrypted medical records.

    Yes, it turns out it was pre-installed and he had not used it at all. And yes, I jumped to conclusions prematurely. But no, I am not happy about him having basically a partition on his phone (password protected too) that acts like a separate secret phone.
    We talked about it. He was unaware of it, or at least of it's potential. I reset passwords on it. Done!

    All phones have a second private shield too.
    Most know of private tabs, but otherwise are unaware of private shield.
    You can turn the whole phone into hidden mode.
    Have a whole phone within a phone.

    I’ve never seen it. I have seen a lot of complaints for multi user / hidden user modes due to parents giving their phones to children.

    I know how to get to it on my android.
    Hides whole files, pictures, anything you search can stay within the private side.
    And it has a lock.
    It was the first thing I checked after history and secret tabs on my SO phone.
    He didnt know it existed either.
    Even hides music and documents.
    The thing is, once you set it up there will be a tab on drop down that asks if you want to "hide" stuff on your device when saving.

    All this snooping, worrying, checking, reminding, accusing, getting upset and angry... I've had it! I am not going to check his "stuff" anymore. He is an adult, so he knows what to do to keep HIMSELF in check. It just wrecks my nerves and occupies countless hours I could spend on doing something else. I have now spent about 1 year of my life researching him, our relationship, his recovery, my recovery, his addiction, sources of help, etc. I think I can say I am doing my part. What is there to do for him? GROW UP!

    As an addict, I want to say “It’s completely ridiculous that you want to invade all my private space, my phone, etc.!”

    But thankfully, I’m at a point in recovery where I recognize it isn’t about the addict. Heck, if we had been honest, it might not have come to this. It’s probably the lies more than anything isn’t it?

    I’m sorry for having been one of the many people who normalized porn, and downplayed/hid it.
