Was Jamie able to monitor Britney's phone on his phone back in 08?

Soo, I'm rewatching For The Record for the 100th time and I never noticed before that Jamie took his phone out of his pocket after he wanted Britney to give him her phone (the scene at the Womanizer shooting). She didn't give it to him, so I wondered if he was able to check what she was doing via his phone? Was that already a thing back then? I've never been technophile. 😅
