If you are out snooping, you are doing it on the down low. This is risky business when it comes to your partner's phone, as the chances are they are going to be looking for it. Stay away from their phone, and you'll have little chance of being caught out by them.

If you feel the need to go through your partner's phone, then it feels like you don’t trust them. This is not a good way to form a relationship and should raise alarm bells about something being wrong. Think about why you feel you should be doing that before.

Even if you find something on the phone, it is not a good look to say that you have been looking through your partner's phone. This means that either way, you will be in the wrong, and it won't turn out well for you. If you need to find out, try a different technique.
