How to know if an uninvited Mac is attached to your device or possible?

I have info that makes me believe there is a device uninvited (Mac) apparently or supposedly invading my personal info. Is this possible or am I receiving misinformation?

Almost certainly misinformation or misinterpreted information.


If a web site or sites are identifying your phone as a Mac, that's because they are simply not very good at determining what kind of device you're using.


Google especially tends to misidentify Apple devices.
