Smartphone monitoring apps have developed a poor reputation in popular culture owing to their portrayal in the media. This is because unsavory characters are frequently shown to be using these apps for stalking purposes. However, the reasons why these apps are developed in the first place are completely different. For example, employers use these apps to boost productivity in the workplace. Similarly, parents resort to using these apps to establish oversight into their child’s digital life. In this article, we will show you how you can use one of the top-performing smartphone monitoring apps. We will first identify the price and compatibility for the app and then provide a step-by-step guideline on how to install it in both Android and iOS devices. We will then explore the features and how you can use them before providing a quick summary.
Disclaimer– Before you spy on someone’s text messages or calls, be sure to check the applicable laws in the area as spying is not considered illegal and is a crime in some countries. We DO NOT promote the use of spying apps for any illegal purposes.
XNSPY is one of the first monitoring apps that were developed as the need for phone monitoring became obvious. The app has a broad array of advanced functions that can help both employers and parents.
You can choose between the basic and the premium version. The basic package does not offer all available features but costs less than the premium. The premium version offers full functionality and costs USD 7.49 per month. The basic version, on the other hand, comes at an affordable USD 4.99 per month.
The app is compatible with all iOS devices running on versions above 6.0. Similarly, XNSPY supports all Android phones running on OS versions 4.0 and above.
