Worried32 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 There has been concerns my father is cheating on my mother. I noticed on his phone yesterday he got a notification on his phone (iPhone) that looked the settings icon but at the top it said ‘Brilliant’. I only ever get alerts from settings on my iPhone if in regard to an iOS update. Is anyone aware of any secret messaging apps that have alerts disguised as iPhone settings? Or any idea what this would be? Link to post Share on other sites

It's odd that you would jump to the conclusion that your father is cheating. Is something going on in your parents marriage? Please check the iPhone app store: "The Brilliant App gives you remote/mobile access to your Brilliant Control(s), so you can see and adjust the status of your connected smart home products, turn on/off lights, activate scenes, upload personal photos, and more" Link to post Share on other sites
Author Worried32 Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Yes there has been a history of cheating and suspected it may be again. I have never seen the settings icon alert with the word brilliant above it and thought possible was a message with the word brilliant disguised as the settings icon, if that makes sense.

If there are "secret" messaging apps for the purposes of cheating, who would turn on alerts and notifications? Makes no sense. Link to post Share on other sites
Sony12 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Yes even if there is a history of cheating what you have now isn't very good evidence for it (he could be using that app for any number of reasons). Is he often gone for long stretches of time while giving relatively vague explanations for his whereabouts? Is he talking to someone at really weird hours where most people wouldn't be having phone conversation? Have you actually seen any of his texts where he seems to be flirting with someone? Those are far better indications that someone might be seeing someone else on the side than what you mentioned? How many times has he officially cheated or are many of his encounters just things like you mentioned above? Link to post Share on other sites
stillafool Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I think you should let your mother worry about whether your father is back to cheating or not. Your signals are way off. If he is back to cheating your mother will find out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have that on my phone". 1 Link to post Share on other sites

While that is unfortunate and might indeed bother you quite a bit, I'd suggest you not try to play referee for your parents' marriage. If there has been infidelity in the past and they are still together, then it's their business to work through it (or not) if there's another go-round. Counselors and the like must recuse themselves from working with family members or even people they know - and for good reason. They are too close to the situation to be helpful in a way that maintains professionalism and objectivity. Link to post Share on other sites
