Features Overview
Are your children or employees abusing the privileges of texting and calling? Are you worried they are using the phone for disallowed or inappropriate activities?
Mobile Spy helps parents and employers monitor the smartphones and tablets that they own or have proper consent to monitor. They use it to learn about their child's or employee's call information, websites visited, text message activities, photos, GPS locations and more.
Program Description
Mobile Spy is a hybrid software/service which allows you to monitor smartphone usage in real time. This unique system logs the activities of your iPhone, BlackBerry or Android OS smartphone.
Notify your child or employee they will be monitored. Install a small application directly onto your device that they use. The app has an icon which further notifies them that they are being monitored.
After the software is setup on the monitored phone, it will log an array of phone activities and then insert the information to your account using the Internet. When you want to view results, simply login from any web browser and enter your username and password.
With the LIVE Control Panel, you can view the phone's screen and location LIVE.

Why Monitor Text Messages?
Do you need to know if your child is sending and receiving text messages that may be inappropriate or cause them to get into trouble? One of the fears for today's parents is that their child may be using the mobile phone for sexting.
Sexting is a term that describes text messages that contain explicit language of a sexual nature. Children will be curious about the new information that they are exposed to and might plan to engage in sexual activities. And because of their inexperience, children do not understand the consequences of their actions.
Multimedia Messenger Services – Mobile Spy also lets you monitor multimedia messages sent and received on Android, iPhone and BlackBerry devices.

iMessage Monitoring
If your child or employee uses an iPhone or iPad, and they text another iPhone or iPad, it uses iMessage instead of a carrier's text messaging.

Teenagers want to be cool and accepted by their peers and are highly influenced by today's fashion and beauty industry. It seems they are pressured more than ever to push the envelope when it comes to the way they dress and act.
Smartphones now give them the opportunity take compromising photos and post them to sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. They think they are just having fun and impressing someone in a private way, but in reality the photos can be used against them and there are a lot of creepy people out there that look for these types of posted photos. Use Mobile Spy to see what photos are being taken with your child's cell phone.
