FAQ

If Any Questions Left

What is a cell phone tracker?

A cell phone tracker, also known as a phone monitoring app, is an app designed to let you see what’s happening on someone else’s phone, all without having to physically look over their shoulder. The best remote cell phone tracking apps work in hidden mode, so they won’t even know you’re using it.

How does a cell phone tracker work?

If you want to track a cell phone, you need to install special software on the device you want to monitor. Once installed, seeing what’s on their phone is as easy as logging in to your phone tracker account and browsing through your own personal dashboard.

Is mSpy the best hidden tracker app?

We believe so. But don’t take our word for it. Ask the 1.5 million people who count on mSpy to give them the information they need to make smarter decisions for their family. Or judge for yourself. Our mobile monitoring app solution has all the features you need to keep tabs on them.

Does mSpy cell phone tracker work in real time?

That depends on whether you’re using a jailbroken phone or choosing to use our solution out of the box with active sync. In some cases, data from their phone takes a few minutes to reach your control panel. But for the most part, everything happens in real time.

Can you track someone’s phone without them knowing?

Absolutely. When you use a mobile tracker that works in hidden mode, the person you’re tracking won’t know that you’re using software to find out what they’re doing online. So if you’re looking for an app to track phone without them knowing, mSpy is the real deal.

Is it legal to use mSpy mobile tracker?

You can use the mSpy phone tracking app to keep tabs on your children if they’re considered minors. What’s more, you can use mobile tracking software to track others as long as you have their explicit consent to do so. If not, you should think twice about using phone monitoring software. And no matter what, consider checking your local laws before using mSpy.

Is the tracking software detectable?

That depends which mobile phone tracking app for iOS or Android you choose. Some apps can’t be hidden, so the person you’re monitoring might be able to detect that you’re keeping tabs on them. mSpy, however, works in hidden mode, so they won’t know that you’re using it.

How do I choose the best cell phone monitoring app?

Great question. We’re often asked what makes the best phone tracking app, and while everyone’s needs are different, we keep coming back to the same three answers. Features. Features. Features. Mobile phone tracking apps come in all shapes and sizes, but only a handful are loaded with every feature you need. mSpy is one of them. We’ve made sure it works with the latest social media apps. And we’ve armed it with features that make it work with apps that aren’t even out yet.

Can you monitor a cell phone without installing software?

No. If you want to be able to see what’s on their phone, you need to install some sort of cell phone monitoring app on their device. Depending on which kind of device you’re using and whether or not it’s jailbroken or rooted, the installation process varies.

Is there a free way to track a cell phone?

There are some free mobile phone tracking solutions, but they aren’t very good. For the most part, these solutions are very limited in features, offering you the option to show you someone’s location on a map. And in many cases, companies that claim to offer the best phone tracking app for free are just there to scam you out of money.

Can you track your phone with the IMEI number?

No. Knowing just the IMEI number won’t get you very far in terms of using a cell phone monitoring app. If a mobile phone tracking solution claims to be able to help you track someone by phone number or IMEI number, steer clear. There’s a good chance that you’re being taken for a ride.
