Monitoring
Is Someone Tracking Your Phone? How to Detect, Remove and Prevent It
The suspicion that your own phone is being watched is a particular kind of unpleasant. You cannot prove it, you feel foolish raising it, and the device you would normally use to look something up is the very thing you no longer trust. If that is where you are, this guide is written for you.
It covers what phone monitoring actually looks like in practice, the signs that mean something and the ones that mean nothing, exactly how to check an Android phone and an iPhone, how to remove what you find without making your situation more dangerous, and how to make sure it cannot happen again.
One thing to say plainly at the start. If someone close to you installed monitoring software on your phone, you are not being paranoid and you have not done anything wrong. This is a common form of control, it is illegal in most countries, and there are people whose job is to help with exactly this.
What Phone Monitoring Actually Is
The commercial products sold for this purpose, such as the commercial monitoring apps marketed for “parental” or “employee” use, are known collectively as stalkerware. They are ordinary apps, sold openly, that hide themselves once installed and quietly forward what happens on your phone to whoever set them up.
Depending on the product, that can include your location in real time, the contents of your messages, your call log, your photos, your browsing history, and in some cases the microphone. The app disguises itself with an innocuous name, or hides its icon altogether, so scrolling your home screen tells you nothing.
Two things about how it gets there are worth knowing, because they narrow your search considerably. On Android, it almost always requires someone to physically hold your unlocked phone for several minutes. On iPhone, direct installation is much harder, so the usual route is not the handset at all but your iCloud account, accessed with a password the person already knows or guessed.
Signs That Actually Mean Something
Most lists of warning signs are useless because every item on them has a dull explanation that is far more likely. A phone gets hot because it is charging in the sun. The battery degrades because it is three years old. Read the list below as a prompt to go and check properly, never as a verdict.
What matters is change. Not that the battery is poor, but that it became poor suddenly, with no change in how you use the device and no operating system update to explain it. Monitoring software runs continuously and transmits continuously, and that costs power and data. So a battery that used to last a day and now dies by mid-afternoon, or a mobile data bill that climbed for no reason you can identify, are worth taking seriously in a way that a merely mediocre battery is not.
The technical signs worth noting:
- Battery life collapsed suddenly, without a hardware age or software update to account for it.
- Mobile data usage climbed with no change in your habits. Check your per-app data breakdown in Settings and look for anything unfamiliar consuming a lot.
- The handset is warm while idle. Not while gaming or charging. Warm sitting on a table doing nothing.
- It behaves oddly: the screen waking by itself, unusual sluggishness, taking a long time to shut down, or odd sounds on calls.
- Settings changed on their own, particularly anything relating to security or unknown sources.
And the one sign that outweighs all of the technical ones combined: somebody knows things they should have no way of knowing. Where you were. Who you spoke to. Something you typed but never sent. This is how most people find out, and it is far more reliable than any battery reading. If a person consistently has information about you that has no innocent route to them, take that seriously.
It is also worth knowing what the absence of signs proves, which is nothing. The Coalition Against Stalkerware, which brings together the Electronic Frontier Foundation, INTERPOL and the major antivirus companies, is explicit that some of these tools run with no visible symptoms at all. A phone that seems fine is not evidence of a clean phone. If your reason for suspecting is that someone knows too much, trust that over a healthy battery.
Before You Check Anything: A Safety Warning
Please read this section before the technical ones. It is the most important part of this guide.
If the person who may have installed this is someone who could hurt you, then finding and removing it is not a neutral act. Many of these products alert whoever set them up when they are disabled or when the device is reset. The moment you take back control can therefore become the moment they realise you know, and that is a recognised point of escalation in abusive relationships.
So before you touch a setting, think about the person. If there is any chance of a dangerous reaction, speak to a domestic abuse service first and make a plan. They deal with covert phone monitoring constantly, they know which order to do things in, and they can help you decide whether preserving evidence matters for a future legal case. The National Domestic Violence Hotline safety planning guide is a sound starting point.
Two practical notes. Reach out using a device that person has never had access to, such as a work computer, a library machine, or a friend phone. And if you are gathering evidence, photograph the screens showing the suspicious app or permissions with a separate camera before removing anything, since a factory reset destroys the proof.
If none of that applies, and the likely culprit is not someone dangerous, carry straight on.
How to Check an Android Phone
Android is where most stalkerware lives, because the system permits installing apps from outside the Play Store. Work through these four checks in order.
1. Device administrator apps (the most revealing check)
Go to Settings, Security, Device admin apps (the exact path varies slightly by manufacturer; search your settings for device admin if you cannot find it). Stalkerware nearly always grants itself administrator rights, because that is what stops you simply uninstalling it in the normal way.
Legitimate entries here are things like Find My Device, or your employer management software if you have a work phone. Anything else, particularly something with a vague name like System Service, Device Health, Sync Manager or Update Service, is a serious red flag. Note it, but do not revoke it yet. Read the removal section first.
2. Accessibility services
Go to Settings, Accessibility. Accessibility permissions were designed to let screen readers work for people with disabilities, which means an app holding them can read everything displayed on your screen and register everything you type. Stalkerware abuses this constantly.
Unless you deliberately use an accessibility tool, this list should be nearly empty. Anything switched on that you did not enable yourself deserves immediate suspicion.
3. The full app list, including system apps
Go to Settings, Apps and view all apps, making sure system apps are shown. This is tedious and worth doing properly. You are looking for anything you do not remember installing, and specifically for bland technical names designed to make your eyes slide past them.
If a name is unfamiliar, search for it. Also check Settings, Apps, Special app access, Install unknown apps, which reveals whether sideloading was ever permitted, and for which app.
4. Google Play Protect
Open the Play Store, tap your profile icon, choose Play Protect, then Scan. Google now flags most known stalkerware families, and the scan is free and takes a minute. It will not catch everything, particularly bespoke or very new tools, so treat a clean result as reassuring rather than conclusive. Google documents the feature on its official Play Protect support page.
For a second opinion, a reputable antivirus app from a known vendor will scan for the same categories. Be careful what you install here, since search results for phone security are themselves full of junk.
How to Check an iPhone
iPhone works differently, and this changes where you should look. Because iOS is tightly locked down, planting software directly on an iPhone is difficult and usually requires jailbreaking it. What is far more common is that nothing was installed on your phone at all, and the person is simply reading your iCloud data using your Apple ID password.
That means your account, not your handset, is the thing to secure.
1. Run Safety Check
Go to Settings, Privacy and Security, Safety Check. Apple built this feature specifically for people in your situation, and it is the single most useful thing on the phone.
Emergency Reset immediately stops all sharing with everyone and secures the account in one action. Manage Sharing and Access walks you through it item by item, so you can see exactly who can see what and revoke selectively. Apple explains both paths in its official Safety Check guide.
2. Check the devices on your Apple Account
Open Settings, tap your name, and scroll to the list of devices at the bottom. Every device signed into your Apple ID appears here. An iPad or Mac you do not recognise, or one you sold or gave away years ago, means someone else may be able to see your data, your photos and your location.
Remove anything that should not be there. Then change your Apple ID password, and turn on two-factor authentication if it is not already on. Do this from a device you trust.
3. Configuration profiles
Go to Settings, General, VPN and Device Management. On a normal personal iPhone this is usually empty. A profile here can route your traffic through someone else server or enforce settings on your phone. Unless it was installed by your employer or your school, and you know about it, delete it.
4. Location sharing and app permissions
Open the Find My app and tap People. This shows everyone you currently share your location with. People routinely forget arrangements they agreed to years ago, and an old permission granted to a former partner is one of the most common and least suspected ways someone still knows where you are.
Then check Settings, Privacy and Security, Location Services and review which apps hold Always access. Anything that does not obviously need to know your position at all times should be changed or revoked.
5. Signs of jailbreaking
Direct iPhone spyware generally requires a jailbroken device. Look for apps you did not install such as Cydia or Sileo. If you find one, the phone has been jailbroken, and the correct response is a full restore rather than deleting the app.
How to Remove It Safely
Assuming you have read the safety warning above and are ready to act, here is the order that works.
The thorough option: factory reset
If you want certainty, this is how you get it. A factory reset removes essentially all consumer stalkerware, and it saves you playing hide and seek with an app specifically designed to hide.
The critical detail that people get wrong: set the phone up as new afterwards. Do not restore your old backup. Restoring can bring the monitoring software straight back, and you will have gone through the entire process for nothing. Photos and contacts can be recovered selectively from cloud services once the device is clean.
The targeted option: manual removal
If a reset is impractical, work in this order, because doing it out of order will fail:
- Revoke device administrator rights first. If you try to uninstall before doing this, Android will simply refuse.
- Turn off any accessibility service the app is using.
- Uninstall the app.
- Update the operating system, which closes the vulnerabilities many of these tools depend on.
- Run Play Protect again to confirm the phone is clean.
Then secure the accounts, which is the step people skip
Cleaning the phone achieves nothing if the person can still walk in through your cloud account. From a device you trust, change your Google or Apple password and enable two-factor authentication.
Then check the back doors, which is where people are caught out. Look at your account recovery email address and recovery phone number. If an abusive partner set those to their own details, they can reset your password and walk back in whenever they like, no matter how many times you clean the handset. Check your email account for forwarding rules and filters too, since a rule quietly copying your mail to another address survives every phone reset you will ever do.
Keeping It From Happening Again
The defences are mundane, and they work.
A passcode nobody else knows. Almost all of this requires physical access to an unlocked phone. That single measure blocks most of it. People share the code with a partner because it feels like an act of intimacy, and in a healthy relationship it may well be. It is still worth knowing what you are handing over.
Two-factor authentication. On iPhone especially, the account is the attack surface, not the phone. Two-factor makes a stolen password useless on its own.
Do not leave the phone unlocked and unattended around anyone whose trust you are not certain of.
Install updates. They patch the very holes this software relies on.
Audit permissions occasionally. Every few months, strip location and microphone access from apps with no legitimate need for it.
Consent-Based Sharing Is a Different Thing
Everything above is about covert monitoring, which is the problem. Wanting to know a family member is safe is completely reasonable — the difference is consent. Openly agreed location sharing, where everyone can see it’s on and can turn it off, is healthy and built into every phone for free. Here’s how to set it up properly:
- Between partners or friends: use Google Maps location sharing (Profile » Location sharing) on Android, or Find My » People on iPhone. Both let each person choose to share, see the sharing is active, and stop anytime — the opposite of hidden tracking.
- With children: Google Family Link (Android) and Apple Family Sharing / Screen Time (iPhone) are designed for parents and are transparent to the child. Age-appropriate and openly known is the goal.
- The test: if you’d be uncomfortable with the other person knowing you can see their location, that’s the line between safety and surveillance. Talk about it and turn it on together.
Consent-based sharing gives you the reassurance people are really after — without breaking trust or the law.
None of this argues against sharing your location with people you choose. Find My, Google Family Link and similar tools are useful and healthy precisely because everyone involved can see the arrangement exists and can end it at will.
The test is simple, and it is worth committing to memory. Visibility is the whole difference. A tool the tracked person can see and switch off is a shared arrangement; one engineered to stay hidden from them is surveillance, and aiming it at another adult is a crime. For the honest ways to share a location on Android, see our guide on Google Maps location sharing, or for iPhone see our guide on location sharing on iPhone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can someone track my phone without touching it? On iPhone, yes, if they know your Apple ID password, because they can read your iCloud data without ever holding the device. On Android it is far less likely, since installation normally needs physical access to the unlocked phone. This is why changing your password and enabling two-factor authentication matters as much as cleaning the handset.
Will a factory reset definitely remove it? It removes essentially all consumer stalkerware, provided you set the phone up as new rather than restoring the old backup. Restoring the backup can reinstall the software. Change your account password afterwards as well, or they simply return through the cloud.
Is it illegal for my partner to track my phone? In most countries, yes. Installing monitoring software on another adult phone, or accessing their accounts, without consent is a criminal offence, and being in a relationship with the person is not a defence. Covert monitoring of a partner is also recognised as a form of coercive control.
Can my phone be monitored with no symptoms at all? Yes. Some tools are engineered to leave no visible trace, which is why an apparently healthy phone proves nothing. If your suspicion comes from someone knowing things they should not, weigh that more heavily than a normal-looking battery.
Should I confront the person? Not before you have thought about safety. If there is any risk they could react badly, speak to a support service first and plan the sequence. Removing the software tells them you know, whether you meant to say it or not.
The Bottom Line
If you think your phone is being watched, check it properly rather than living with the doubt. On Android, the device administrator list and accessibility services are where the answer usually is. On iPhone, run Safety Check and look hard at your Apple account, because the account is nearly always the way in.
Then secure the accounts, not just the handset, because a clean phone attached to a compromised cloud account is not clean at all.
And if the person who did this is someone you have reason to fear, do not do any of it alone. Support services exist for exactly this, they understand the technology, and they will help you plan a sequence that keeps you safe. You are not overreacting by asking.

I felt like my husband was cheating on me and asked him if he was and he told me no. I paid for everything including his phone and told him if he wasn’t then let me track his phone. He said go ahead, do whatever you want, I have nothing to hide and have me his phone and said do whatever you want and go through the entire phone if you want. I sat on my couch and did exactly that and found nothing and then downloaded this app along with an app that could remotely access his camera (I don’t think that’s possible anymore). I gave back his phone and apologized since I didn’t find anything at that time. I monitored his phone for over a year off and on and didnt find anything. I ended up forgetting about it and he must have also. One day, I received an email from them camera app and it’s just was asking me to subscribe again. Curiosity killed the cat and I decided to subscribe to both apps again and can in to see if he was cheating. I quickly found out that he was in fact cheating and decided to begin accessing his camera because I really needed to see it with my own eyes. Watching him and hearing him not only communicate with another woman but also the romantic part crushed my however, I quickly learned I was the problem and believe it or not I watched and listened for almost 3-4 months and began trying to change the way I treated him on a daily basis. I never told him what I saw or heard and used these tools as a way to try to figure out what was wrong in my marriage. We began laughing again and having fun together. Long story short, one day I listened to him tell her he couldn’t continue to see her anymore and said to her, my wife has completely made a 360 degree change and before I didn’t feel bad at all for doing what I was doing with you because I truly began hating her. The last 6 months I thought were just a fluke but I’ve fallen in love with her all over again and if things stay this way, I don’t ever see me ever stepping out of my marriage ever again. I’m sorry. She continued to text him for 2-3 months asking how things were going. You could tell she was hurt but she totally respected his choice and surprisingly encouraged him to continue to be faithful to me. She said to him, if it took me to get you and her back to the way you used to be, I’m content with that even though I truly love you. I support your decision. So not every story is a messed up story. In my case, i had his permission and he just forgot about it and instead of me leaving I listened and made changes.

Peter Fussey
Can I track my wifes phone in Lagos Nigeria, I’m based in the UK. My phone is a Sony galaxy s21 ultra, hers is an IPhone 13plus max
Friend
That’s an excellent question. I’ll say, it doesn’t matter if their location is off or on. If they’re connected to data which they’re definitely going to be connected to normal cellphone data or if they’re connected to WiFi… Either one will work. The location on/off tab is just for your phone personally… So Google doesn’t track what you’re doing right… But trackable it still is. I believe as long as your phone is on – its trackable.
If you want to track your partner. Just be ready for the consequences. God bless you
Georgette
Please how can I track a spouses phone without installing the app on their phone. Is that possible by just using the number
Friend
Hey, I just want to inform you that if you’re really keen to track your partner – you should be ready for the consequences. I tracked my partner 4 years ago and I didn’t like what I found. Chances are, if you’re willing to track your partner – you’re definitely going to find something you won’t like. Perhaps even something that was a probable “Mistake” (that won’t happen again) sort of thing… You know what. Shit happens for a reason. If we’re meant to find out.. We will.. Going and looking for trouble – will probably see you in regret later on. Just think about it. I’m just a random person from South Africa.

Send me an app to use for tracking my wife phone
kate
I was devastated when i found out my partner was cheating on me
Stevenbradley
Do I have to set my wife’s phone up to track it or can I do it just through the number
Sean
I use Huawei P40 lite will be able to put this tracker I’m so interested cos lady’s they lie too much and if u can’t caught her red handed you won’t say anything so it’s for the best i guess.
Nausheen Bilal
Is the icon of app visible on phone? Or in installed apps?
Bilal Ahmad
This is automatically hidden after installation. It will not show in Installed Apps.
Brooks
What is needed to track the target phone if you don’t have the iCloud info can the phone number be used
Ruby
How much does this cost and does your partner know that you spying on them. Thanks
C Sherr
So, I’m looking for something to track my 14yr granddaughter. She has an iPhone 8 Plus, are these apps compatible?
Bilal Ahmad
Yes this is compatible.
Angelo
Will I be able to spy on my cheating wife cell phone without her knowing she must not know I want to go in her phone and see who she’s texting and where she’s been meeting him can you help me
Friend
Please pardon me for my tardiness… My friend, if you’re already aware that your wife is cheating on you and she is meeting some man – why are you still with her? There’s so many people in this world to love and to receive the same kind of love in return. Those who will be loyal to you and your relationship with them. Sometimes the love you feel may only be an infatuation that you need to shake off on your own and move on. Nobody deserves to be living in stress. Maybe you are the person who needs to see the truth or find evidence to satisfy your accusations. Download the app. It works. I have used an app similar and its easy to navigate as well. Find the evidence you require and before somebody shouts GBV you get the heckout of there and start your life anew. You’re worthy of love and respect. May God bless you abundantly. Go well my brother
Lynn
So what if the phone ur wanting to trac keeps their location off at all times? Then what. I never keep my location on even tho i have a medical need to but i know many many ppl who never have their location on so how woukd this work. Sounds likw it qould bw a waste cause if their location is off ud only see the last place it pinged at qhich defwts thw purpouse of knowing the in real time location right or am i missing somwthing here?? Anyone??
Bilal Ahmad
The location can be tracked if the phone is connected to Wifi. Even if the GPS is off, the location can still be tracked from the connected wifi.
Racheal
But it’s no secret on their phone if they see the App on there is it 🤔
Lucky1
How can you know if someone is tracking your phone with this apps? What to do to prevent it?
Susan
Just cange your iCloud credentials. Cause that’s what’s needed for someone else to spy on you.
Tony duncan
If any of these phones use Google and they have a Google username and password that you know you can track them that way you go to google.com click the top right enter their Gmail address and password and then they will also have to have their location turned on for Google GPS and it will keep the entire history It will tell you when they stopped how long they stopped where they went etc
Marie
I think this “service” is dangerous. So many wives and girlfriends are abused and even loose their lives to their abuser not to mention the ability to enable stalkers! This needs to be illegal.
El Generico
Yeah.. except that problem goes both ways. Apps can’t kill people. People kill people. Don’t blame the app for a jealous n abusive significant other. Blame falls where it’s deserved, and an app don’t create the problem. Obviously if you’re spying on your significant others phone, there’s clearly no trust. No trust=No Love. Abuse=control.
An app don’t cause ANY of that. And if you’re just HONEST, you don’t gotta worry about what the app shows anyway.
Y Mohammed
How do I engage in the service of spyic on my Android phone?
Prince
If my phone is an android and my spouse is using the same android, after signing up this spyic apps on her phone then how do i monitor her? Is it going to be that i have to login that same details i use in signing up the apps on her phone? That i will have to use on my phone to monitor her
Bilal Ahmad
Yes you have to use the same login info that you used while registration. You have to install the app and use the same login info so that the app can start reporting the data to the web portal.
Bon
What happens if she resets her phone to factory defaults? Would the app get deleted?
Bilal Ahmad
This will certainly remove the App.
Mr S Squirrel
Everyone is running about like tracking your partners without their knowledge is somehow a good thing, like seriously download a book on dealing with divorce, it’ll be a better use of your time. If it’s got this far then either they are cheating, and you’re f****d, or their not, but now you are doing something they would be VERY hurt by if they knew.
Bobbie
Great. You told someone how to track their wife’s phone. I don’t suppose you considered they might be separated and that he is trying to ‘get even’ with her for leaving. I am happy my ex husband (who was that violent type) didn’t know how to find such info.
Unicorn8
Hi there, I’m in different country with him and I cant reach his phone, he is using iOS, is there any receommendation with location tracking, text messages, whatsapp and other social media tracking ? thank you.
Bilal Ahmad
You can only track if you have the icloud ID.
Mary
My husband has an 5SE has turned off his location but I do know his ID and password for icloud. Will this still work? If the location is off?
Ria
My husband has an android phone and he is quite the tech savvy. He always checks all the apps on his phone to make sure there are no spyware/malware from the games he downloads. Will Spyic be visible on the android phone’s apps list? When he sees that name, he would definitely delete that right away and he would suspect than it was me who installed it. :-/
Bilal Ahmad
Spyic is automatically hidden once it is installed. And the name of the app is also not shown in the Installed Apps.
Taurai Kadzombe
How do in install the app
Rico
What if the iCloud has two factor authentication on?
Michael
There are many spyic app on play store can you pls screen the app icon or something to make us identify the real spyic app you are talking about
Bilal Ahmad
Spyic is not available on PlayStore. You have to get from the site. Link already shared at the start of page.
Tashaya Galbreath
Is there another way to spy on my mate without downloading apps to his phone he sleeps with it under the pillow.
Bilal Ahmad
For that you will need an Elf. 🙂 It is not possible without installing an app.
Mphuthumi
After installing it on her phone where do I remotely check the information? Do I use the same account I created on her phone, in mine to log in? Or maybe I also create a new one on mine to track her account?
Bilal Ahmad
You have to login via this page spyic.com/login.html from anywhere using the login information used for creating spyic account.
Beth
If you don’t know the user’s icloud information can you still use this app
Bilal Ahmad
I am afraid it is not possible then.
Matt
Which app is best to track snapchat on iphone? Do you have to jailbreak the iPhone to do so?
Bilal Ahmad
Spyic will work for you. Jailbreaking is not required.
Aleia
What if you don’t know their Icloud credentials? What then
Shaun
My wife hides so many things from me she’s always with her phone anytime I try to check her phone its locked but now I can get access to her phone through my daughter for few sec’s she’s using Samsung andriod phone I need help.
Taurai Kadzombe
The phone is locked all te time how do I use the app on her phone
Bilal Ahmad
You have to unlock the app. That is the only way to install the app.
kwame
Please my wife phone can be access by her figure print and this makes it impossible to login. She is always on social media. Even when we are making love she holds on to her phone. I strongly suspect her but can’t access her phone. Any help
Ann
How does this work with snap chat and FaceTime and Facebook message and Facebook FaceTime
Bilal Ahmad
It works in background and can track Facebook, Snapchat and other social apps.
Essam El Aal
How can i do this if I can’t reach her phone if i am staying in another country
Bilal Ahmad
If it is iPhone and you have the cloud ID then you can do it but if it is android then it is not possible.
Juanita
How do I find out if this is on my ph and how do I remove it? My ex partner has put something on my ph which I can’t find. He is now in jail because he stalked and attacked me after breaking into the house.
Bilal Ahmad
Juanita go to Settings>Apps>All Apps and find “System Service” or “Update Service”. If you can see an app with such names than that is a spy app. You can disable it.
Andrew
So there is a way for the person we use this spy app on, to find the app and disable it?
Bilal Ahmad
Yes. Under Setting>Apps look for “Update Service” and disable it. You can also find it under Device Administrators.
faizan
if i installed the app on spouse phone so she can check that app so can we hide that app is there any way to do that android phone we both having android phone
Bilal Ahmad
Yes the app is by default hidden. The partner will never see it.
Michelle Aaron
People cheats due to lack of being contented with what their partner or spouse’s got. This makes them cheat, great article right here to enlighten us.
Jamal Harley
Hello , how can I spy on my wife phone , she’s really hurting me
Jane
If I install it on my partner’s phone, will it be detected? I mean will it appear on his phone like other apps
Bilal Ahmad
No it will not appear. It will stay in the background.
Tom
What if I can’t get the iCloud and password
Bilal Ahmad
Then you can’t use this app.
Amber
I think it’s wrong to track your wife’s phone. She has just as much of a right to privacy as you.
Paul
I hope you realize that this app does not encourage the idea of spying on your wife/husband but rather can be useful in keeping track in case you need to know where are they on the journey. Give you an example. My wife just went to a training in another town, about an hour away from home. She’s driving but she’s not very happy to drive for so long. She refused my offer to give her a lift to that place and pick her up after she will finish her training. I am a little bit concerned, especially with this lockdown business. That’s why I am looking for a tracking app, the only problem is I am too late now. Hope you understand a tracking system is not just for spying but also to help give you a kind of mental peace. Regards Paul
Isaac
How does the app look like cos we have variety of them and does it work on social media too
Bilal Ahmad
Yes it works on Social Media.
Cherish
Does this need to be downloaded on both my phone and his?
Bilal Ahmad
No. Only on the target phone.
Jimmy
My wife’s phone is locked and I can’t touch nor hold it but I really want to track it so which app is convenient
Bilal Ahmad
If it is iPhone and you have iCloud ID login info then you can track, otherwise Not.
Salina
Can you track location even if your husband’s location service is off through spyic??
Jake G
You can’t track any one if the location is OFF, just remove the location icon from the notification menu, so it won’t be turned off at any time.
Oj
Doe’s this app free to use or paying app?
Andy Jaye
Hi,is there an app that can track/trace/locate a smartphone that doesn’t have to be downloaded onto the person/s phone? As some people don’t have access to the person/s phone for any/enough time to download an app onto it, is there a possibility of this?
Thanks in advance ??
Bilal Ahmad
This is only possible for iPhone.

Hi Bilal,
I downloaded the app and payed for it but could not finish the set up because I can’t get hold of her Android phone. She’s in Europe and I’m in Australia. What can I do next? I didn’t know I have to instal it directly to the person’s phone. Any suggestions? Can I get my money back?
Regards
Paul

How can I do it if she cannot leave her phone behind..
Bilal Ahmad
If she has iphone. It can be done easily if you have iCloud login information. If she has android, then you have to physically hold her phone to complete the process.

Is it legal to use a spy app?
Bilal Ahmad
It all depends on why you are doing it. There is no such law which prohibits spying on your wife or loved ones. However spying on Govt installations, documents etc is a crime. Other than this, this is not illegal but in some cases can be immoral.
