Did your mom also install a random sketchy app from the app store and click "Allow" when it asked to access her contacts?
Because my mom did, and I get all kinds of spam. 😠

The invention of smartphones and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

Hard agree!
I downgraded to a pseudo dumb phone a few months ago, and it's been life changing in all the best ways.

i don't even do sms on my 'dumb' phone.
when the phone makes a noise, it's either low on battery (or, if it was plugged-in, fully charged), an alarm or timer i set, or a very high probability of being a legit call (the carrier has reasonably-effective blockers for spam, bots and spoofed origin calls).

Totally respect that.
I tried a month of dumbphone but realized there was a minimum of "smart" I needed in a daily driving device. My compromise was a low-end smartphone in a flip phone form factor which is just smart enough for what I need.

Personally I keep my installed apps to a minimum, heavily use Firefox on mobile with uBlock Origin, and heavily curate what's allowed to send notifications and when, so my phone is quiet and not distracting but there when I want it/need it

jfc I hope you reported that app.

No idea what app it was. Mom was just like "my phone got hacked so i got a new one" and a new phone number with it. 🤦🏻♂️

At this point it's like the Onion article that they release after every school shooting about how nothing can be done to prevent it in the only country where it occurs regularly; the data raping and pillaging that goes on in the US despite other countries having passed basic common sense privacy and control laws...well too bad you can't afford the lobbyists to pass it, Poor.

Man the USA sounds like it’s just three corporations in a trench coat pretending to be a country.

"My Life is an Onion Article" is now on the short list of titles for my autobiography.
