How to spy on someone’s phone without them knowing?

Why would anyone want to spy on someone's phone? Is it ok to invade someone's privacy like that? 

In some cases, it's the only way. Let's go through the reasons why people may spy on someone's cell phone without them knowing. Eventually, you may find out someone's been watching or listening to you (cannot exclude that). 

Why people spy on others' phones? 

First, in case of an emergency. If you want to protect your kids or parents, you may want to keep control over their devices if something bad happens. Having access to your kids' phones guarantee you can get quick information regarding where they are, who is around them, who they are talking to, and what they're doing.

In many cases, such information can prevent different unpleasant situations that kids, and especially teenagers, are prone to get themselves into.

Kids can get themselves into troubles, not because of their bad behaviors, as many can think. Sometimes they get involved in something unpleasant due to their naivety, or because they don't want to lose face in front of their mates.

That's why parents sometimes come to extreme measures to discover whether there is something dangerous that demands their participation, and sometimes, emergency management.

The only problem here is that kids usually go mad when they find out parents control them. Negotiation is not an option if your kiddo has got a hot temper; basically, that's where all discussions result in only deeper confrontation. In such a situation, parents may not have other ways to find out what's going on with their kid, especially if they suspect something is wrong. 

Problem children sometimes leave no other option. Parents have to start monitoring their phones without them knowing. 

Other reasons why people spy on someone's cell phone 

There are people who believe watching your spouse's movements secretly is disgraceful, but let me tell you this.

What if, after six years of a happy marriage, your beloved just start lying? You can tell something has changed, because you don't feel like you know a person anymore. You've tried to go for an honest conversation, but it turns out into one more formal discussion that makes you sick.

People change, and to protect yourself from being fooled around, you also may be forced to apply extra measures. Spying on your spouse's cell phone is just one of the ways to probe your partner's faithfulness. 

From this point of view, spying without being detected is the only way. It's just a modern mechanism that allows you to fish out the truth when it's highly needed. It's especially relevant when you already know you're being lied to, but don't have hard evidence to prove that. 

How to spy on someone's cell phone without being detected?

Getting access to someone's device without having to access it is possible but there are legal issues you should be aware of. 

First of all, there are several apps that allow you to spy on others without them knowing. You have to know the iCloud credentials of the target device, and with them, the app can be installed instantly without the owner being notified. 

Log in to your personal account where you can instantly track all the person's movements who owns the device.

You can look through chats, monitor phone calls, get access to social media accounts, check location history, etc. 

All these apps offer immediate access to the target devices, as well as hints along the way, so you don't have to go a great length to learn technical details. Some of them you can try out for free. Anyone can start spying without being tech-savvy, simply a-n-y-o-n-e.

As to the legal issues, you can freely monitor someone's cell phone in case you own it (for example, you bought it for your kid), or if the owner is aware of your intentions. In some cases, depending on the country, it is possible to monitor elderly parents, and such surveillance will not count for spying. However, there is a list of countries that outlaw various types of recordings without disclosure.

If you're not sure whether your actions are legal or not, we recommend you to check on local regularities in this area and make sure you're not breaking the law.

Do I need a monitoring app?

There are many cases where we face a mysterious situation and HAVE to know the truth. Sometimes breaking the mystery is vital for our mental health, and sometimes it can even save someone's life. 

For parents 👪

Do you need to install a monitoring app on your child's cell phone? Here is a little check-list to decide.

Take a glance:

3. He or She is giving evasive answers to questions
4. You can tell there are shifts in emotional stability of you kiddo
5. He or She starts using “coding words” with friends that you cannot comprehend 

If your answer is yes to 3 and more questions, it may signal some suspicious activity in your kid's life that you're unaware of. There is no guarantee that your child can escape interactions with bad companies. Even if you nourish your chile and protect him or her from bad companies, it doesn't mean they won't indulge in things that might interest them later.

Don't forget that children cry for attention when they reach the age of 12-13. Using one of the above-mentioned software may help you prevent undesirable situations at its source before it leads to severe consequences.
