Can my parents see the names of the websites I log into with at&t?

Asked by Yoda21 (15points) April 11th, 2012 from iPhone

I’ve done some embarrassing things (we don’t need to get into details I’m sure everybody can understand) and I’m not doing them again but just saying it won’t be enough for them if they find out what I’ve been doing with my new iPhone, so I want to know if they can actually find out what I’ve been doing on safari and YouTube as well, can anybody help me out? Because I’ve been really paranoid for a couple of days now and I know they will not go easy on me if they found out, please? And if you’re going to give me a long lecture don’t waste your time please I already decided not to do it again, I just want to know if I’ll get caught or not just so I don’t have to freak out all the time because this is unbearable

The first thing you should do is clear your history out of Safari on your phone. I don’t think it can be easily found without doing some more intense sleuthing. And I have only had an iPhone for a short while, you might want to check the computer you are synched with to make sure there is no history tracked there.

And remember, you can’t completely erase your tracks on the internet.

Here’s the deal, I live out in the country and so my parents don’t have a home computer for home Internet is too expensive, so I can’t check there :/

Do what @zenvelo said. Also realize, your parents were once young as well and masturbated and looked at porn. A different kind of porn (non-internet), but nonetheless, Porn! So don’t be so embarrassed. Calm down, they love you. Why don’t you rub one out to calm yourself down?

If your parents are paying the bill, then they could potentially get their hands on it. AT&T saves the info, just as any ISP. However, the info is not readily available, and is not accessible on the website or on the bill. They would have to specifically request the data. So, you’re probably safe unless you’ve given them reason to go through the hastle of getting it.

It can be only possible in case of they are tracking from some softwares or tools.

The only way AT&T releases specific details about your activity is through court order. The AT&T account website does show what text and calls are going in and out, but not what they contain, and nothing about data besides the amount used. So you’re in the clear.

To clear Youtube history: Go to the youtube app. Hit More, then History. At the top right there is a [Clear] button. Done.

If you’re using the much better youtube mobile site (http://m.youtube.com/) go there, and click the tic-tac-toe grid icon on the top right, and login. Tap the history icon. The tap [Edit] on the history bar. Then click the (x) icons to the left of each video. You’ll only need to do this is you’re viewing videos while logged in.

To clear Safari: From the home screen, go to Settings > Safari. Tap the [Clear History] and [Clear Cookies and Data]. Also, note the option for “Private Browsing”. Turn that on next time so Safari doesn’t save any sort of history or data the next time you’re browsing through the Sears catalog. :D
