WHAT IS MSPY?
Simply put, the mSpy app is a phone tracker that lets you monitor your child’s
phone activities remotely. It allows you to ensure their safety by giving you a
glimpse of:
* Their call history
* Their GPS locations
* Their incoming or outgoing text messages
* Their social media activities
And the best part is that it does all this without them knowing. As such, you
can rest easy knowing that your child is always safe.
DOES MSPY REALLY WORK?
Some spy apps never receive updates and then don’t work on all the devices that
they should. We researched this app in depth, and our conclusion is that mSpy
works very well and is completely legitimate.
IS MSPY SAFE?
Yes, mSpy is a trusted company that’s been operating for 10+ years. The data
collected by mSpy from you is encrypted, and their privacy policy states that it
will only be shared with third parties for the purpose of providing mSpy
services or to comply with legal obligations.
HOW DOES MSPY WORK ON ANDROID?
If you’re wondering how does mSpy work, essentially, the mSpy phone tracker is
planted on a target’s device. And afterwards, it’ll start collecting information
from the device.
But that can be better explained in these three simple steps below. Here’s how
to use mSpy:
1. Pick a Subscription Plan
To get started, you need a valid subscription plan with all the features of the
app you’d like to access.
2. Install mSpy on the Target Device
You’ll then need to follow a set of instructions to install the convenient phone
tracker solution on the target device.
3. Start Monitoring
Finally, you’ll login to mSpy’s online control panel and view the data collected
from the child’s device.
HOW DOES MSPY WORK ON IPHONE?
If you don’t use an Android device, are you wondering how does mSpy work on
iPhone? The process is a little different for iPhone owners. On phones like the
iPhone 6 or even the 12 Pro, you’ll only need to have the iCloud credentials to
set up and install the app.
Below is a simple three-step explanation of the process as well:
1. Create a Free mSpy Account and Pick a Subscription Plan
You’ll need an active and valid subscription to get started with using the mSpy
app on the target iPhone.
2. Enter the iCloud Credentials on mSpy
Login to your account from the mSpy login page and enter the iCloud credentials
of the target device you want to monitor.
3. Start Monitoring
mSpy will begin collecting information from the target iPhone and updating the
dashboard.
However, while the process is simple, there are a few extra steps to cover. But
we’ll look at them later on.
MSPY COMPATIBILITY
This mobile phone tracking app works on two main operating systems – Android and
iOS. That means you can use it on iPhones and literally any Android phone of
your choice.
Operating SystemMinimum VersionAndroid:Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)iOS:iOS 7
While mSpy supports older versions of Android and iOS, it will work fine with
newer versions too. As such, mSpy will work with anything from an iPhone 6 to
the latest Samsung Galaxy S21 series.
But if in doubt whether it’ll work with your phone, you can use our free mSpy
compatibility checker.

Great! Your device is compatible.
After typing in your phone model, the checker will display whether it’s
compatible with the mSpy phone tracking app or not.

MSPY PREMIUM FEATURES
mSpy is known for its features. And on that, it equally over delivered for us
too. There were tons of features to choose from too. But we mainly focused on
these 10:
* SMS Monitoring
* Call Logging
* Contacts Monitoring
* Media Files Tracking
* Keylogger
* Location Tracking
* Social Network Monitoring
* App Blocking
* Wi-Fi Monitoring
* Browser History
SMS MONITORING
This is perhaps what mSpy does best and without fail. Its SMS monitoring
features are simply amazing. And it’s not just because it works.
The first thing you’ll notice about mSpy’s SMS monitoring is that it uses a
conversation view to display messages. This might seem basic, but not for
everyone.
Several other phone trackers hardly use the conversation view. And this means
it’s much harder to navigate to a specific conversation without fumbling.
Additionally, each individual SMS also displays helpful informations such as:
* The contact’s name
* The date
* Any MMS attachments sent with a text
You can thus easily navigate to a conversation then to a specific message that
was sent in a particular date.
However, we do also want to point out that there are no filter options at all.
As such, you can’t perform custom date queries or even search for a particular
phrase.
CALL LOGGING
The call logging feature of the mSpy app is also simple and straightforward. But
almost a little too straightforward at times.
It’s one of the features you really can’t miss when navigating on mSpy’s
dashboard. And it will enable you to see all incoming and outgoing calls from
the target phone.
In addition to the phone calls and the direction of the call, you’ll also be
able to see:
* The number called (both directions)
* The name of the caller (if they’re in the contact book)
* The duration of the call
* The date the call was made
For most people, that is pretty much all that’s needed. You can easily tell the
phone calls that took longer and know which person your target is in constant
contact with.
But on the other hand, that’s really all you get. Meaning you cannot listen in
on the conversations if you wanted to. And that’s a bummer.
Also worth mentioning is that there’s no filter or search options here too. As
such you’d have to sift through all records to find the particular one you were
looking for.
Download mSpy
MONITORING CONTACTS
The contacts monitoring feature doesn’t have much going on around it. After
setting up the mSpy app on the target phone, it took a few minutes before all
contacts got uploaded.
On the left pane, you have the names of the contacts and their details get shown
on the right. As such, to view the number, you’d have to click on the name
first.
Sadly, during our test, we realized that the contacts weren’t sorted
alphabetically. This meant that getting a particular contact took a while.
But if there aren’t many contacts on the target phone, you’ll have a relatively
easy time here.
TRACKING PHONE MEDIA
There’s no particular feature called “Media Tracking” on mSpy. That’s because we
bundled up Photos and Videos together.
Both pretty much work in the same way since photos are strictly populated under
“Photos” in the dashboard. And the same is true for videos.
PHOTO UPLOADS
mSpy was vicious in detecting newly taken photos and uploading them on the
dashboard. And in fact, it even uploaded screenshots we took during the review.
The photos were organized according to the dates they were uploaded. We found
this pretty neat since it made it super easy to find photos by date.
Also, the photos came with their original file names. This meant that you could
always find out the exact time a photo was taken.
VIDEO UPLOADS
This section also had the same look and feel as the photos section. But the only
difference is that mSpy showed a thumbnail of the video clips.
The only actions you’re allowed to perform on the videos are either to view or
download them. And by default, these are only uploaded on a Wi-Fi connection.
Videos too are organized according to date. However, similarly to photos, only
videos taken after mSpy installation will be uploaded.
MSPY KEYLOGGER
This could very well be one of the other greatest features of mSpy that takes
mobile phone tracking to the next level. That’s because many other features
depend on the keylogger.
With the keylogger, you get all the raw keystrokes the target user entered into
the target device. In the screenshot below, you can see just how precise the
mSpy keylogger was in its job.
The app would record even the slightest inputs. And this could give you a sense
of the thought process of the target user while typing.
Also worth mentioning is the fact that mSpy indicates the app where the
keystrokes were recorded.
KEYWORD TRACKING
Hidden under the mSpy keylogger, the mSpy app also has an impressive keyword
tracker that can take parental monitoring to the next level.
You can instruct mSpy to notify you whenever it detects a set of keywords. To do
that, you simply create a rule by specifying:
* The target keyword
* The place/app it should be monitored from
* Whether or not to receive notifications when a keyword is detected
This can come in handy in many situations, especially when you want to know
about something particular.
LOCATION TRACKING
Tracking the movements of the target user is also made really easy. Every
location that your target visited is always logged and updated on the dashboard.
From it, you’ll be able to view things like:
* The accurate GPS coordinates and location data
* The date and time the record was taken
* The overall accuracy of the point in meters
What’s more is that mSpy also has a map view if you’d rather see the points
visually. And from this, you can see all of the target’s movements.
Download mSpy
GEOFENCING
If you thought location tracking was cool, mSpy’s geofencing is way cooler.
That’s because you get to have more control over what should be monitored.
Essentially, geofencing lets you set up virtual zones on a map. When the target
user enters or leaves a particular zone, you’ll get notified so that you can
take action.
Setting up a virtual zone is easy too. But you’ll have to specify details such
as:
* The radius
* The name of the zone
* Whether or not you need email notifications
This is a much easier way of tracking movements without always logging in to
mSpy’s dashboard.
SOCIAL MEDIA MONITORING
There are tons of things you can do with mSpy’s social network monitoring
feature. And they aren’t just limited to only the popular apps like mSpy for
WhatsApp and Messenger.
mSpy lets you monitor activities from the following apps too:
* Snapchat
* Instagram
* Telegram
* iMessage
* Tinder
* Viber
In addition, it provides the same neat and easy-to-use conversation view that we
saw in the SMS section. As such you can practically see everything at a glance,
whether you use the mSpy Snapchat tracker or the mSpy Instagram tracker.
For apps like WhatsApp, mSpy even has a section that shows outgoing or incoming
WhatsApp calls. And all this really adds to mSpy’s unique abilities.
However, there’s a catch.
Social media monitoring is only possible on rooted/jailbroken devices.
APP BLOCKING
One other powerful feature of mSpy is its app blocking capability. Basically,
this lets you restrict which apps can or cannot be used on the target device.
Since mSpy already has a list of all installed apps on the target device, you
can practically block anything. Simply tap the “Block” button to get it
underway.
mSpy will then display a black screen whenever the target attempts to open the
blocked app. However, this didn’t always work as planned.
On one occasion, it was still possible to access a blocked app. As such, we’d
advise you to use this feature only when necessary. It could easily blow your
cover.
WI-FI MONITORING AND BLOCKING
If you also want to know the exact Wi-Fi networks your child connects to, you
can. And mSpy’s Wi-Fi monitoring feature is the right tool for that.
You can access the feature by either clicking on “Wi-Fi Networks” or “Block
Wi-Fi” on the left sidebar menu.
From there, mSpy will show you details like:
* Wi-Fi SSID and BSSID
* Connection time
* GPS coordinates of the Wi-Fi access point
In addition, if you can also switch to the map view if you want to see
everything at a glance. But it’s only from the list view that you can block a
Wi-Fi connection.
While the feature is pretty handy, it also goes down as one of the features you
should use with care. That’s because mSpy relies on a Wi-Fi connection to send
collected data your way.
BROWSER HISTORY
mSpy also lets you view the target’s browser history. And this also applies to
deleted browsing history too.
There’s not a lot to see under the browser history section apart from the URL
and date the site was accessed. However, this information can still help you
draw some valuable insights.
For instance, mSpy was still able to detect Facebook URLs while using the
Facebook app. In addition, it also showed how frequently I visited the sites
too.
MSPY PRICE
How much does mSpy cost? mSpy offers two main subscription plans which it prices
differently. These are the Basic and Premium plans.
Both plans only allow you to install mSpy on a single device. But the Premium
Plan comes with a few extra advanced features such as:
* Geofencing
* Social Media Monitoring
* App Blocking
* Wi-Fi Monitoring
However, mSpy offers a Family Kit Plan which is ideal for those who’d like to
monitor more than one device. To get it, you’d have to get in touch with their
customer support.
In addition, mSpy also offers a complementary service called mAssistance that
goes for $53.99. Basically, this is to help those people who experience
difficulties during installation, and it’s added to the total mSpy price.
They also have a Support Priority Line for $12.99 if you need any prompt
assistance from the tech team which is also an affordable price.
Download mSpy
MSPY BASIC VS PREMIUM – WHICH TO CHOOSE?
Here are some of the main differences between mSpy basic and premium:
mSpy Basic:
* Offers basic features such as call and text message monitoring, GPS location
tracking, and access to browsing history.
* Doesn’t offer more advanced features like social media monitoring or
keylogging.
* Is priced lower than the premium version.
mSpy Premium:
* Offers all the features of the basic version, plus additional advanced
features like social media monitoring, keylogging, and access to multimedia
files.
* Is priced higher than the basic version.
* Provides a more comprehensive and detailed overview of the target device’s
digital activity.
When deciding between mSpy basic and premium, it’s important to consider your
specific needs and budget. If you only need basic monitoring features, the basic
version may be sufficient. However, if you require more advanced features or
want a more detailed overview of the target device’s digital activity, the
premium version may be a better choice.
MSPY INSTALLATION, MSPY LOGIN, AND SETUP
Now that you’re familiar with everything mSpy has to offer, the only real task
that remains is installation. But its installation greatly depends on the target
phone’s OS.
As such, this section talks about how to get mSpy on the target phone on both
Android and iOS.
HOW TO INSTALL MSPY ON ANDROID
Installing mSpy on Android is simple. However, it does have a few steps that you
need to follow correctly before you can start monitoring.
They include:
* Part 1: Registration and Pre-setup
* Part 2: Download and Installation
* Part 3: Completing mSpy Setup Wizard
* Part 4: Hide mSpy App Icon and Finalize Setup
* Part 5: Start Monitoring
Requirements:
* Physical access to the Android device
* Active mSpy subscription
* Active internet connection
PART 1 – MSPY FREE TRIAL REGISTRATION AND PRE-SETUP
You’ll need an active mSpy subscription to get started. As such, this will
involve creating a free mSpy account then picking a subscription of your choice.
To kick things off, here’s what you’ll do:
Step 1: Navigate to mSpy’s website and click on the green “Try Now” button on
the top navigation bar.
Step 2: Enter your email and complete the wizard by picking a subscription plan
of choice.
Step 3: Get the login credentials from your email and use them to login to
mSpy’s control panel.
Step 4: On the dashboard, select Android as the target device and fill in the
kid’s name, age, and device model.
Step 5: On the target device, open the Play Store app and then navigate to Play
Protect > Settings (Cogwheel Icon).
Step 6: Turn off both options under Play Protect Settings i.e. Scan apps with
Play Protect – Disabled, Improve harmful app detection – Disabled.
PART 2 – MSPY INSTALLATION AND DOWNLOAD
Still on mSpy’s setup wizard, you’ll now get the download link to use. Note that
you’ll need to download the app on the target phone.
This is how to carry on with the process:
Step 1: Open a browser of your choice and key in the download link on the
address bar and hit enter.
Step 2: Complete the verification captcha to download mSpy’s APK file.
Step 3: Once the download is complete, tap on the APK file and enable “Install
from unknown sources” if prompted.
Step 4: Tap on the “Install” button to begin the installation process.
Step 5: Click on “Don’t remind me again” in case a virus notification popup
appears on the screen and hit “Ignore”.
Step 6: Tap on “Open” so that you can begin mSpy setup wizard.
Download mSpy
PART 3 – FINALIZE MSPY INSTALLATION
mSpy is successfully installed on your phone, but it will require a few
permissions to work. These permissions are what allow it to collect information
from the target device.
As such, here’s how you’ll go about mSpy’s setup wizard:
Step 1: Tap on the button next to “Enable mSpy monitoring” to grant mSpy all the
basic permissions it needs.
Step 2: On the pop-up notification that follows, click “Allow” on all to grant
mSpy the necessary permissions.
Step 3: On the main menu, tap on the “Enable messages tracker” button then turn
on the toggle on the screen that follows.
Step 4: Click “Ok” on the next popup that follows to proceed to turn on the
“Framework Update Service”
Step 5: Tap on “Framework Update service” under Downloaded Services then turn on
the toggle on the screen that follows. Click Ok on the popup to complete the
section.
Step 6: On the main wizard menu, tap on “Enable call tracking” and click Ok on
the pop-up that follows.
Step 7: Tap on “Update service” then toggle it on to permit usage access. Once
complete, you’ll be taken back to the main wizard menu again.
Step 8: On the main wizard menu, tap on “Enable social media tracking” and tap
Ok. Once the Update service pop-up appears, check the “Don’t show again” box and
tap “Start Now”.
Step 9: Tap on the “Allow background data usage to be taken to the Battery
optimization page. Once here, locate “Update service”, select it, then choose
“Don’t optimize”.
Step 10: Back on the main setup wizard, tap on “Make the app undetectable” and
proceed to turn off the notification on “Update Service”.
PART 4 – HOW TO HIDE MSPY ICON ON ANDROID
While still on mSpy’s setup wizard, you’ll now proceed by ensuring the app
remains hidden. And this is done by ticking the “Hide the app icon” checkbox.
Doing this will allow mSpy to run in stealth mode while in the background. Thus,
the target won’t know.
Afterwards, here’s how you will proceed:
Step 1: Key in the registration code from your dashboard on the final step of
the installation process.
Step 2: Click “Complete Installation” then tap on Ok in the notification window
that pops up
PART 5 – START MONITORING WITH MSPY
With mSpy successfully installed and configured on the target device, you can
now switch to the control panel.
If logged in, simply navigate to the dashboard and click on any of mSpy’s
features from the left sidebar.
After a few minutes, mSpy will start uploading data from the target device.
HOW TO INSTALL MSPY ON IPHONE
As mentioned earlier, mSpy’s installation is a little different on iOS. Unlike
with Android, the process is way simpler here. And that’s because you only need
the iCloud credentials of the target device.
Requirements
* Access to the target iPhone (Sometimes)
* iCloud credentials
PART 1 – CREATE A FREE MSPY ACCOUNT
First things first, you’ll need an active mSpy subscription here too. To get
started on that, here are the steps you’ll follow:
Step 1: Head over to mSpy’s website and click on the “Try Now” button on the top
navigation bar.
Step 2: Enter your email address and complete the wizard by picking a
subscription plan of choice.
Step 3: Get the login credentials from your email and use them to log in to
mSpy’s dashboard.
PART 2 – PREPARE THE TARGET IPHONE FOR MSPY INSTALLATION
While physical access to the target device is not compulsory, it is necessary at
times. And you’ll need the access to configure a few iCloud settings.
Here’s how to go about that:
Step 1: On the target iPhone, navigate to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup
Step 2: Ensure iCloud backup is enabled by tapping on the slider.
Step 3: On the settings page also, ensure two-factor authentication is disabled.
PART 3 – COMPLETE MSPY IPHONE INSTALLATION
Back on mSpy’s dashboard, you’ll now proceed to entering the iCloud credentials
to complete setup.
Step 1: Select the Apple icon on mSpy’s control panel to begin the online setup.
Step 2: Enter your child’s details i.e. name and age then key in the iCloud
credentials of his/her device and hit “Proceed”.
Step 3: mSpy will verify the Apple ID and get a list of the devices under their
account. You can then select the specific device to monitor and begin
monitoring.
PART 4 – START SPYING ON THE TARGET IPHONE WITH MSPY
Once everything is set up, mSpy will begin populating the dashboard with
information from the device. You can thus pick which feature you want to monitor
and see what’s been collected.
Download mSpy
PROS AND CONS
* Plenty of tracking options
* Simple to install and use
* Root or jailbreak isn’t required
* Comes with a stealth mode
* Impressive and accurate keylogging features
* One device per account only
* Some advanced features still require root access
* Not easy to filter collected records
MSPY VS MOBILE SPY: WHICH IS THE BETTER ALTERNATIVE?
mSpy can often my confused with another Android spy software called Mobile Spy.
However, the two aren’t the same. If you want to know how they compare and which
one you should choose, the points mentioned below should help you make your
decision.
* Reliability: In terms of reliablity, mSpy does a far better job with its
active and helpful customer support and non-intrusive software once installed
on the target device.
* Website blocking: While Mobile Spy allows you to monitor third-party apps
instealled on the target device, with Spy, you can block these apps and also
block any websites you don’t want the target to access.
* Easy to use interface: Overall, mSpy offers an interface that’s must easier
to navigate through and search for records than that of Mobile Spy.
On the whole, while the marked differences between the two apps aren’t too many,
mSpy’s better reliability and 24/7 customer support make it the ideal choice in
a mSpy vs Mobile Spy comparison.
MSPY VS MOBISTEALTH: DOES MSPY STILL COME OUT ON TOP?
Another spy app that mSpy is often compared with is MobiStealth. While both the
apps offer the usual tracking features such as social media monitoring, call,
and SMS tracking, location tracking, and so on, there are a few areas where mSpy
comes out on top. These include:
* A stable user interface that’s easy to navigate
* High customer reviews over time
* Advanced features that include app and website blockig, live screenshots,
trigger word alerts, real-time GPS location tracking, geofencing, and much
more.
* It also gives you access to all the media files stored on the device,
including photos and videos.
Additionally, the similar pricing that it offers for both Android and iOS
monitoring at $29.99 per month makes it the top choice when compared to
MobiStealth.
Try mSpy
IS MSPY DETECTABLE?
The app is virtually undetectable because it runs in the background under the
name “Update Service”. This makes it harder for the target to know you’re
tracking them.
However, you also need to choose to hide mSpy’s icon during installation. In
addition, be careful about using features like app blocking as it can raise
suspicion.
IS MSPY DETECTABLE ON IPHONE?
Since you don’t install any mSpy app on the iPhone, the target will never know
they’re being monitored. And that’s because you only use the iCloud credentials.
In addition, that also means that you can install mSpy remotely as well. If
you’ve met all the requirements, you won’t need the device physically.
HOW TO INSTALL MSPY REMOTELY?
mSpy can be installed remotely only on iOS. And that’s simply because you’ll
need the iCloud credentials of the target device.
The same cannot be said for Android devices though. You will definitely need
physical access to the device since Android requires a few extra settings.
IS IT LEGAL TO USE MSPY?
Yes. Using mSpy to track your child without their knowledge is completely legal.
After all, it is a necessary tool to ensure the safety of your child.
Nevertheless, you should still always consult with your local laws. This is to
ensure that you can legally track someone with their consent.
CAN I INSTALL MSPY WITHOUT JAILBREAK OR ROOTING?
Rooting or jailbreaking is not required to use mSpy. In fact, most of its
features will work just fine on a non-rooted Android or non-jailbroken iPhone.
Regardless, mSpy allows you to do a little more on a rooted/jailbroken phone.
For instance, advanced features like geofencing require a rooted phone.
IS MSPY LEGIT?
Absolutely. You get exactly what mSpy advertises once you get a subscription of
your choice. And the features work like clockwork if you meet the requirements.
In addition, mSpy even has a refund policy for users who had issues with the
app. But only within a 14-day period. As such, mSpy is completely legitimate.
HOW TO REMOVE MSPY FROM ANDROID?
If you’d like to remove mSpy from iPhone or Android, make sure to read our
step-by-step guide on how to remove mSpy.
FINAL VERDICT
In all honesty, mSpy deserves many of the accolades it has amassed over the
years. This is especially true when it comes to ease of use.
mSpy may not have all the fancy features that other spy apps have. But it gives
its very best for what it does have. And that’s what got us excited about it.
It’s definitely a keeper for parents who want to keep a closer eye on their
kids’ online activities.

it do that?
1. Anjelica says:

You can easily monitor your daughter’s Snapchat with mSpy!

hi
Can you spy on a cell phone without accessing the target phone?”
1. Anjelica says:
May 22, 2020 at 22:43
If you have their iCloud credentials, you can do that by installing mSpy
on their phone remotely.
1. NM says:
March 3, 2022 at 19:51
How about if you don’t have iCloud credentials or access to any
information or their phone?
1. mSpy says:
May 30, 2022 at 14:33
There is an alternative method. Whenever the iPhone and your
computer are connected to the same Wi-Fi hotspot, the phone sends
text messages, phone calls, and other information to your
computer. In addition to the functions stated you will be able to
see WhatsApp, LINE, and Viber messages from your target iPhone.
8. AUh, Huh says:
June 3, 2020 at 06:15
Thanks for this. Just a few questions:
Can be installed on target device via Samsung cloud?
Will remain undetectable from Incognito spyware app?
Will keylogger still capture when target device in incognito mode ALL the
time?
Intercept Messenger Secret Conversations?
1. Anjelica Rivera says:
June 3, 2020 at 16:45
Not sure about Samsung Cloud.
I’ve tried installing it on my non-jailbroken Android phone and it
worked just fine, there’s an option to hide the app.
The keylogger will capture the target device in incognito mode too AND
secret messenger conversations.

Also is it possible to connect with an iPhone that has (10digit.us)
installed in it????
1. Anjelica Rivera says:
June 22, 2020 at 10:26
Once you paid for the package, you need to go through the installation
instructions. You’ll get an install link from the mSpy website. Install
that ap on the phone.
11. Cynthia says:
June 25, 2020 at 01:18

1. Anjelica Rivera says:

So mspy does or does not have a “no jailbreak” option for android phones?
1. Anjelica Rivera says:
July 1, 2020 at 14:22
That’s right! If you go to mSpy’s website and choose “no jailbreak” you
can read everything about it.

I purchased mSpy for monitoring my child’s phone and realized after
purchase it wasn’t the solution for me. Within 2 hours I contacted the
company attempting to get a refund explaining it was a mistake and asking
for a refund as the software/solution wasn’t what I was looking for. They
have DENIED my request for a refund, even after a purchase of less than two
hours! Customer service is horrible, with a response of, we can freeze your
account, add three months for you, etc., but not one offer to do the RIGHT
thing and just refund my $100+ dollar purchase. I am in the customer
service business and would never treat someone like this. They obviously
use bait and switch tactics to keep your money with a ridiculous return
policy. I am going to be reporting them if I don’t get my refund. My
advice: STAY AWAY.
1. Anjelica Rivera says:
November 1, 2021 at 16:44
That’s very unfortunate to hear, SM. Could you post your order ID here?
I will send this to mSpy’s support service and see if they can get it
fixed. In the meantime, look at alternatives like Cocospy.
16. John says:
February 6, 2023 at 22:18
So absolutely none of the spy apps for Android can be installed on a target
phone without access to the phone to download the spy app itself ?
1. Anjelica Rivera says:
March 2, 2023 at 13:29
Exactly, it would be out of this world to be able to install something
remotely 🙂
17. Pradeep says:
May 3, 2023 at 13:30
Does mspy notify target phone?
1. Anjelica Rivera says:
May 3, 2023 at 13:30
You can use mSpy undetected, making sure that the target is not notified
of its use. You will be able to monitor their activity without their
knowledge, because the app does not notify the phone user that it is
there, and it is actively monitoring them.
