My wife and I have no stated "policy." Neither of us has ever asked to "see" each other's cell phone.
I guess our policy is, we trust each other, have no reason to be suspicious, and therefore, do not spend any energy worrying ourselves with what the other is doing with their phone.
Same deal here. Married almost 14 years and together about 15 and had our own cell phones the entire time (imagine some of the outdated cell technology we've gone through together lol). We do not check each other's phones. Once a month I may answer it for him if his work is calling him for an emergency and he's in the shower. Neither of us have passcodes. Never have. We just trust each other. I've never scrolled through his phone and I doubt he's ever done that with mine. I think there's really deep issues going on if a person must have open access to their SO's cell and check it constantly i.e. cheating histories, insecurities, and etc. Those problems will eventually cause a couple to break up or have serious issues that must be worked through to avoid it.
My wife and I have nothing to hide from each other. We have access to each other's phone, email, text, and everything else. It's no big deal.
Here's the thing...
My husband and I don't have anything to hide and we do NOT have access to one another's private electronics.
And it doesn't bother me. At all. Doesn't bother him, either.
The truth is, if people are gonna pull a fast one, they can do it way easier if they have someone lulled into a sense of false security by being a supposed "open book."
People who are really up to something on the side, as has already been pointed out more than one time on here, will just go out and buy another phone. Damn, didn't any of you watch Breaking Bad?
LOL.

I actually made that mistake of
trusting someone who really didn't deserve it.....
The dude had no moral compass.....
Lol hindsight is 20/20......
He totally wasn't worth it
Soo... your issue is that you had bad judgment?
Hell, sometimes, crap happens.
You might have had full access to "whatever" and it still would have happened.
One has to have faith that not everyone will be dishonest, and move on past it. It's unhealthy to be so paranoid.

Eh, I only mentioned it to illustrate that there are people who shouldn't be trusted...
The guy I'm with now is much more trustworthy, respectable & doesn't play games...
I trust him implicitly.
Mrs. Chow still has a flip phone and she wanted to use mine.... I have a smart phone... she couldn't figure out how to even get into it... so I'm pretty sure she's not perusing my phone logs or internet searches... but even if she was, I have nothing to hide............
Don't even get me started on trying to use a different phone! His will ring and he'll holler for me to answer it... all the while I'm staring at it, mystified and thinking "How???" But I'm too proud to admit such, so instead I cop a smart ass remark about hiring a receptionist. Aaaaand of course the whole time he's flapping his gums about how easy it is to use, and I'm shrieking "If it's so easy then you answer it!" Until the friggin thing finally goes to voicemail.

I couldn't imagine going through another person's phone. I'm shocked at how often posters here mention it. If something untoward is going on, I'll find out about it soon enough.
I don't understand the whole snooping and cell phone privacy thing.
I'm single but when I crushed on guys I never really felt the desire to snoop on their pages. If I did, I fought the urge to do so because I knew I was going to see something and it would turn into a huge misunderstanding, which would end up with me feeling really sad.
If I ever get into a committed relationship it won't be with someone who feels the need to go through my phone or feel the need to hide things from me ( not that I would want to look anyway.)
This giving kids their "right" to privacy is a joke as far as I'm concerned..... you don't have any rights til your 18 and as far as I'm concerned you're a subjected citizen with no rights... LOL.... j/k..... sort of.....
