mSpy Review

There is a world of difference between “spyware” and “spy software.” Spyware is illegal and is typically placed on computers and mobile devices for the purpose of stealing private information. Spy software is used by parents and businesses to monitor the communication on a device used by someone they have authorized to use it but are responsible for.

As smartphones and tablets become more popular and eBooks have more and more open Internet access the idea of putting a secret piece of software, like mSpy, on the device to make sure it is being used responsibly is becoming an attractive idea. mSpy will track links, emails, GPS locations, SMS messages and contact information. It allows you to view this information remotely and keeps its presence (and yours) hidden from view. You access the data through a special account you set up with mSpy and can customize the dashboard on your account to make sure that you can quickly review the information you need to see.

Is it really hidden?

Many of the so-called “secret software” packages that are on the market to allow hidden monitoring of cell phone communications are not that secret at all. They use a very transparent installation process that leaves a record in the history of SMS messages on the phone. That is not quite hidden and can easily be found by anyone reviewing message history. Some of them even create an icon and worst of all; many of the cheaper ones require that you access the phone again to be able to read the communications on it.

None of this happens when you install mSpy. Not only is the installation complete hidden but it runs in the background so it never appears in as an active process. mSpy is also designed to use very little resources. Once it is turned on it can run non-stop with only a minimal drain on the battery. There is nothing on the phone or in any directory accessible from the control menu to show that mSpy is installed. Once it is running, you don’t have to ever access the phone again but can read all the communications via the Internet on a regular computer or even from your mobile device.

How can this be legal?

It is legal, but some cell phone services do not permit this app to be used on their networks. Services like Verizon specifically disallow spy software like mSpy in their terms and conditions even if this is a phone provided to a person on a company account and you are the employer. Instances in which a parent wants to monitor a minor are blurry. You will have to call your carrier to find out what is allowed and what isn’t. Currently, there is no specific law prohibiting you from installing software on a mobile phone that you are in control of. “In control of” means to have it in your hands. As privacy continues to be of concern for people, this may change quickly so keep yourself updated.
