5 Mobile phone Spy Softwares for the concerned individual

A saying from the not so long digital era goes something like this, "Couples get to share anything & everything except their personal mobile phones!" Why the security & privacy bubble? I don't know, guess its best to respect each others privacy. But for the rest of us who are not too comfortable, yes that includes corporates doubting a possibly rogue employee, or a parent concerned about their teen children, help is here!


Cell phone spying and monitoring software have been around for quite some while now and have improved tremendously over the years. They let anyone with an internet connection to monitor and spy on their targets and are completely invisible to the obvious victim. So how do they work?

A cellphone spy software usually comes in a package pair, where one executable requires to be installed on the target person's phone that you wish to monitor and the supplied dashboard software application needs to be installed on your computer. At initial start, the target phone data is copied to a spy software service provider server and a log is shown on your dashboard. Every time the user has any sort of activity oh his or her phone, you get a notification with detailed log and alerts. There are remote scripts that can automatically trigger a environment record function, or maybe zero in on the phone's geographic location or just take a picture remotely while sitting at your computer!

Below is a list of some well known spy software that I stumbled upon while doing one of my academic projects back in college.
