Best Android Spying Apps To Spy on Anyone

You can have any reason to want to monitor someone’s mobile device. I can easily list down dozens of reasons for installing monitoring app on someone’s mobile. But the number one reason why you want to use a phone-monitoring app is you are a concerned parent whose child may be a victim of cyberbullying.

“Why cyberbullying?”, you may ask.

After reading an online report by Anti-bullying Pro, which relied on findings from three years ago, proved that there is an increase in ChildLine counseling by 87%. I decided to write this article to help parents like you whose children are either affected by bullying or you care enough about your child to monitor their online activity on the Internet and social media to protect them from the content and websites inappropriate for their age.

Shocking as it may seem, almost forty percent of the cases reported involve kids between the ages of seven and eleven. Most kids know about someone else who is also a victim of online bullying. However, 64% of the cases do not let their parents know. Out of every ten kids, seven are victims of bullying. These stats prove that there is the reason for the rise in the usage of android spying apps worldwide. Parents can use such monitoring apps to know what their kids are hiding and keep them safe from cyberbullying.

To add to the dilemma, the report went ahead to confirm that about 5.43 million people in the United Kingdom experience bullying at some point in their lives. Alarmingly, approximately 1.26 million people are easy victims of extreme bullying on a daily basis.

Now, as you are aware of the scenario and why it is important to protect your child’s safety in the current online world, here are five best phone monitoring apps we have screened to help you narrow down your search and find the best solution that suits your needs.

 

Best Android Spying Apps

1. XNSPY

XNSPY is the number one on this list because it works very well as both, a parental control app and an employee tracking solution. It offers multiple monitoring features, although there are some limitations. You may need to root an Android device before some features work. Besides, if your target device is iOS mobile operating system based, then you have to make sure if it is jailbroken or not.

You can use this app to monitor various mobile activities as the app is powerful enough to gather data from entire conversations on text messages, emails, and IM chats (WhatsApp, Skype, LINE, KIK, Viber, and Facebook messenger).

The app is designed to automatically upload all the photos, videos, and recorded files of the target device to the browser-based control panel, from where you can easily monitor the activity. The reason why most people opt to use this app is that it operates in the stealth mode throughout.

3. FLEXISPY

FlexiSPY is the third on this list because of one reason, it offers far too many features for anyone to handle, and most of them don’t always work for everyone. Apart from that, it is very expensive because of the set of over hundred and fifty unmatched features being offered and the setup process is pretty complicated too. That is why they offer two different monitoring packages i.e. FlexiSPY Premium and FlexiSPY Extreme.

We have found out that many people actually like using this app because they want in-depth monitoring along with a complete control over the target device. For instance, you can monitor all of your child’s activity on his/her mobile device including IM chat messages, call logs, SMS/MMS messages, access to all the multimedia files stored on the device, location tracking, and what not. FlexiSPY is the most complete and feature-rich monitoring app for Android.

If you are looking for the most detailed mobile monitoring app with call recording and spoofing then you should opt for the FlexiSPY Extreme package, which will cost you $199 for 3-months. Otherwise, if you are not tech savvy and find it hard to setup monitoring app then I will suggest FlexiSPY Premium package, which will cost you $99 for 3-months.

 Access to Snapchat, WhatsApp, Instagram, Viber, LINE, and many other IM apps on the target device, Listen to live calls with call interception, Remote control of the camera to secretly take pictures, Inbuilt keylogger for access to passwords.

Cons of FlexiSPY:
